Deals include: iPad 3rd gen Black 32GB Wi-Fi for $469 (RRP $599), 15.4″ Macbook Pro for $1699 (2.4-ghz processor, 4 GB of RAM) for $300 off RRP, and iPod Touch starting at $129.

However, no iPhones or accessories appear to be on sale, yet, but 9to5 are tipping this is could be start of something big for Apple.

All of the refurbished products come with a one-year warranty, have been returned to “like-new condition” and quality inspected by Apple.

iPads/iPods also have also a new battery installed.

Apple is the latest in the a line of retailers joining the popular online auction site to sell products, with several Aussie retailers joining the site as sellers in recent months.

However, Aussies need not apply as most of the goods are shipped within the US only.
