Care to elaborate on why it has to be a glitch that Apple have no MBP refurbs in stock in the states?
I don't know if it's a glitch or not, but I've been watching the refurb store for a few weeks to see if a certain MBP configuration shows up.
Yesterday afternoon they easily had 20 different refurbished notebooks from the $850-ish white macbooks and 2010 11 inch macbook airs to the top of the line 17 inch MBPs for $2200+. There wasn't a single category of notebook that didn't have a few variations for sale.
I doubt that yesterday evening they had an amazing run where someone came in and bought every single refurbished notebook they had including presumably not too popular models like intel core duo 13 inch pros and 2009 macbook airs, both of which I saw listed earlier Sunday.
So I'd lean towards either a glitch, or they're up to something.
A glitch might mean (for example) they're not sure of the inventory for whatever reason and aren't going to list the laptops until it's cleared up. They do clearly state that if they list an item it's available to purchase so it would make sense not to list products for sale if they don't know their stock.
Or they could be adding the 2011 Macbook Airs to the refurb store this week which may mean all the notebook pricing needs to be re-evaluated. For example considering how many refurbished 2010 macbook airs I saw in there, I don't think a lot of people were buying those much worse machines for the small discount over the 2011.
Or they could be up to something else, who knows, maybe they're overhauling how the refurb store works. Hopefully that's not the case..
