I dont think apple allows discounts on their stuff. macmall.com will sometimes throw in free stuff like fm adapters or additional power cords. Look at apples refubs on their site. When they have them in stock they have refurb 30gb ipods for $179 and 60gb for $229. Both come with the same warrenty as new, plus you can buy the applecare plan for like another $60.

I've used both Crutchfield and JandR.com a bunch of times. Never been less than completely satisfied. J&R also sells through Amazon. In fact, J&R's shipping is really fast to me, probably since I live only one state over.

crutchfield is a good site for items that don't go on sale like Ipods. For electronics that can be discounted...it depends on what you are looking for? I like valueelectonics.com Excellent indep. retailer that sells authorized products.

If he doesn't mind opening something that comes in a plain brown box, there's a strong case to be made for the refurbished models in the "Special Deals" section at store.apple.com. They come with a full warranty, and every refurbished product I've ordered through them has arrived in pristine condition.
Overstock.com also carries refurbished models, and they always have coupons available (typically 10% off an entire order), but the 30 GB and 60 GB models are currently sold out.
dealmac.com keeps track of daily iPod (and other) deals. I don't recall ever having a bad experience with any of the vendors they feature, and I've been using them as a resource since 1998.

If you are a student, you can also get that discount via the Apple website.

When buying electronics you normally can't go wrong with newegg.com. Not sure if they offer coupons but they always have a good price on expedited shipping & are one of the most respected electronics stores on the 'net.
