I would appreciate it if someone could help. I need one as a gift, and I'd rather not pay more than 80 dollars, but I would like it to have at least 1 gig of memory.
Dude, you just missed the best deal on mp3 players. Tigerdirect.com was selling 1 GB mp3 players for $10.00 ($50.00 w/ 2 $20.00 rebates). I would still go to the website as they always have cheap mp3 players. You should have no trouble finding one for under 80 bones.
You can get a 512MB Creative Zen Nano (not Plus) for $10 after rebate and Google Checkout from buy.com (It's smaller than 1GB but a good player and damn cheap.) It won't last long.
I picked up a 1GB Creative Zen Nano Plus for $30 AR and GCO a couple days ago but that deal is long dead.
Staples has the Sansa e250 2GB Mp3 Player onsale this week for 119.99 - 20 rebate + 99.99 plus tax. Use the 30 of 75 coupon from slickdeals (expires 12-16-06) to get it for $70 AR:
I used the coupon last night with no problems. Office max also has it on sale this week for $99 no rebate, some OM take competitor's coupons so you can try using the coupon there to get it for $70, or you can try price matching the Officemax price at Staples and then using the coupon then mail in the rebate to get it for $50 AR, but that might be a long shot since most Staples do not allow using coupons when pricematching.
In any case its an awesome player for the price and whoever gets this gift will love it.
