This is probably a simple to answer question.

In looking at the refurbished ipods section of the Apple Store, an 80GB previous generation ipod is going for $239, while the 30GB ipod (also previous gen) is going for $249. Shouldn't the 80gb be more expensive? What am I missing? Was there a problem with the 80GB ipods?

(I'm looking at a previous generations due to on old OS)

There should be no problems. From my experience with buying refurb products the prices sometimes don't make sense as the discount is often based on the original cost of the product and often doesn't take into account the competition from the same store :P.

My 4G iPod Photo was cheaper than the monochrome offering they had at the time, and has been fine (Although replaced under warranty just before 12 months).

The 30GB is more than the 80GB because the 30GB had a more expensive original price ($380) than the 80GB classic ($319)

Don't try to make sense of it, enjoy the discount and just think my 3 refurbished iPods are still working well.
