The green and pink color schemes of the new condition SanDisk 8GB Clip Jam MP3 Player are on sale for $28 at Amazon by Amazon actual with a limit of up to three per color per customer. This is not a lightning deal. When browsing around the listings, note that there is a mix of new condition and certified refurbished, so pay attention to each listing in the Amazon search results.
They have a microSD slot, so you can have a lot more than 8GB of music stored on this player. In addition to DRM-free audio formats, it also plays Audible (DRM). They come with a 2-year warranty (the new condition models).
