When will I be able to purchase a refurbished Macbook Pro?

Hi there,

I have been looking into a Macbook Pro and found a refurbished one I'd like to purchase however, after hours of searching, when I got to the checkout the item was out of stock. I then looked for other laptops which were refurbished and they too were out of stock. I searched online to see if Apple had stopped selling refurbished Macs due to the current situation but couldn't find any information. I couldn't find a chatline option available like usual either. Does anyone know any information at all?

Thanks

The availability of the refurbished Mac products is very quick moving. You will need to do frequent checks for the model you want. I just went through the same process when purchasing a refurbished MacBook Air. When it did show up, I immediately clicked the buy button. The model I was seeking has not reappeared on the site since then.

No one here can know "when" because we do not work for Apple. THis is a community of end users.


However,, my past refurb experiences were as stedman1 describes. Even during times of plenty, I had to check the site every 30-60 minutes and be ready to hit that BUY button as soon as I saw what i wanted. IT changes very fast.
