Among the deals: iPod nanos, videos and shuffles as well as a 56-inch Toshiba HD DLP projection television. Video-game consoles were sold out.It's just a test, and the company hasn't decided whether to continue, executives said Tuesday as part of a third-quarter earnings conference call with investors.Target still provides a 90-day return policy with the used products, and promotes the items as having "a little tech TLC" from a third-party or manufacturer-authorized inspector.The effect on the bottom line is very small, executives emphasized.CEO Bob Ulrich said the idea for reselling used electronics "was borne out of the fact that a substantial portion of returned merchandise is in perfect working order."JACKIE CROSBY .

BMO Capital maintains outperform rating on Apple ahead of 3Q report

BOSTON (Thomson Financial) - BMO Capital Markets weighed in ahead of Apple Inc.'s quarterly report Monday, expressing concerns about the company's ability to meet high investor expectations for gross margins.

Apple is scheduled to report its results for the three months ended Sept. 30 after the closing bell. The current mean estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Financial is for a profit of 86 cents a share on revenue of $6.07 billion.

"The most significant issue near-term, in our view, is gross margin," the firm told clients. BMO's forecast of 31.7% is below some of the more enthusiastic views on Wall Street. "We think price cuts in iMacs and iPod nanos will limit Apple's ability to meet more bullish expectations of higher than 34% gross margins. BMO Capital Markets is looking for a profit of 85 cents a share, a penny below consensus, on revenue of $6.1 billion in the third quarter.
