I'm in the market for another one but they seem to have all but stopped stocking the 16gig SSDs on the Dell Refurb site. (Pink, no thanks.)
Edit: oops/yay, just got a white one!

Actually caught sight of a jade green 2G RAM/32G SSD, but it was gone in an instant.

The desirable ones do show up but they go in a few minutes. I caught one (White, 1GB, 16GB SSD, $229) by setting up a tab on my browser that had the Ubuntu refurbs site on it and going back every so often and reloading the site. You also have to be a bit flexible in your choice. I didn't want black and would have liked to have a camera, but this one was close enough.

Got one real early this morning on the East Coast. Black, 32gb SSD, 2gb RAM, 1.3mp camera, no BT for $324 shipped. Can never find a working coupon when I need one.

Nice one. The 15% off coupon code that was posted here a couple of days ago worked for me, even though the website coupon page wasn't displaying it at the time.
Well, it wasn't working this morning. That's all right. I'll sell it on CL for $75 profit and and along with the $125 I made on the other one I sold, that will bring down the price of the one I'm keeping to $72.
