I must admit I hadn't been into an Apple Store in a few months before last weekend, but I am happy to report that I snagged some great deals off the new (?) markdown table at the Apple Store at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, California on Saturday.

Among the goodies piled on the plywood table were mint-condition Aiport Express base stations for $79, Shure e2c headphones for $49, desktop keyboards for $20 and all manner of iPod accessories for great prices.

I was doing some heavy duty Xmas shopping while I was in SoCal, and can tell you that there is also a table on the second floor of the AS at the Grove, but as far as I know no table at the South Coast Plaza outlet.

Considering that Apple discounts are few and far between and the goods on offer are in great shape (probably just buyer's remorse returns) these tables are a real revelation to me. If only there was a 12 inch PB there...

Anyone else grab a great deal from an Apple Store lately?
