So does anyone have a refurbished "certified new" iPod mini?

Question

My ipod loses it batteries and it skips songs, so I took it to the apple store and they said they need to replace it with a "certified new" ipod. They said that they get old ipod parts and reassemble them to make a "certified new" one.
I have to pick it up tommorow so I was wondering:
Did that happen to anyone else, if so does your "certified new" one work?
I'm afriad that it's gonna be worse than the one I have now =[

Answer 1

No, the technology is better. The fixed past problems. Basically, when you send it to Apple to replace the battery, they just send you a new on anyway.
