Apple keeps a tight grip on products and channel. That means once a new model ships, you can count the days and weeks until the supply of older Macs dries up. Thereupon, the supply of lowest cost refurbished 2009 iMacs is getting sketchy.

The first model in today’s listing is the 2009 model year’s entry-level model, which shows up for sale less often and for shorter periods. However, my preference in this lot is the 3.06GHz iMac for $929 as it offers discreet graphics.
