I know a lot of people cringe, and even scream, when they read the word recertified or refurbished. I on the other hand don't mind to see that in the title when it comes to Sansa products. I have ordered two different refurbished Sansa MP3 players and they have worked like a charm for a few years now. The Clip is great. It has 2 gigs and an FM tuner which works our for perfect for my bike rides and workouts. The earbuds that came free with the Clip are better than the $30 ones I already had. $24.00 Shipped at Newegg.com. This is the best price I can find by $9.

sweet! though there have been better deals on this in the past, this comes just in time - my old clip was taken when my apartment was broken into, and I've been suffering listening to crappy gym music while waiting for a decent deal to pop up
very good quality player... I'd be a little worried about physiscal issues on a refurb of it because it's relatively flimsy feeling plastic and a large clip. Lots of opportunity for physical damage.
I love this little player, I picked it up a while back on sale at OfficeDepot, for 19.99 new (from fw post), the battery is not replaceable so I would hesitate for a recert
Actually, I did a search and updated the older original post of this item by an edit to the summary, and by a reply to post this new price, but I made an error in the price.
Also, Woot is selling the Fuze 4gb today and is still available.
My 2Gb recertified Clip lasted about a year until I first had to take it apart to resolder the battery down. It is a nightmare to do (They aren't designed to be taken apart without a little damage) but it lasted a few more months until they died completely. It's a great player, I used mine 10+ hours a week and it has fantastic sound. I've been using my iphone lately and it sucks comparatively in terms of sound quality (Yes, I played with the EQ settings).
I shall be buying another one as soon as I see a 4Gb on sale.....
I love love love this player, but I question the build quality. I'm currently on my third one, the display on the first two died, each within six weeks. I don't think that I'm very rough on them, I really don't know what the problem is. I also gave one to a friend with similar results.
That said, I almost wonder if the recertified is the way to go - maybe there was a weakness with the display with some players that has been resolved here.
I have had an original 2gb fr 2 years with no problems at all. I bought 6 of the refurbs off woot (for my whole family) and they all still work great. I got in on the 8 gig clearance at wal mart a few months back and it once again works great. No problems yet with any of mine.
