I mentioned the dropping of the Classic earlier today in another thread,
I'll add- don't count too heavily on snagging a refurb. They are few and far between.
Some retailers will still have then brand new, but that's $250.
If these were selling well, Apple wouldn't have dropped them from the lineup. I agree with jdc that streaming has reduced the need for carrying all your music with you, and hence, the market for the Classic.
It's pricey but I may grab one. My Classic is only 80G. I like having all my music on a portable device even though I have (for now) unlimited data.
And finally, with the 6 and 6Plus having 128G, and iTunes having the ability to sync music at 128K, the Classic is a true niche product.
If you really want one, better get it soon.
