I keep missing my chance getting a refurbished 16 inch. None on the website currently. And I can’t find any other great deals on other websites.. I’m curious if anyone knows when apple re stocks or posts refurbished stuff?
 
Listen to venom600- the refurbs are nearly completely random on their supply. I was hoping to get lucky today when I bought my 16”, but no luck. 😢
 
They come and go quickly, if you see one you are interested in, don't delay, as it may not be listed long.
 
Sunday night I decided on getting the 16" MBP and the 2.3ghz 1tB model I coincidentally wanted was in stock at the refurb store. But I needed to figure something out with a trade in and had to talk to someone from apple first. Called in the morning, got it all sorted out, and when I finally was ready to order they were gone and haven't been back since.

Luckily, I was able to get the computer new for the same price as refurb off an Ebay store. But the refurb would have been better. I would have been able to use Rakuten's 2% cash back when buying and also been able to retroactively credit back the apple GC I get for my trade in to my purchase once that process wrapped up. Ah well.
 
In the UK, our refurbs are normally refreshed by about 1:30am. We seem to get a much better selection than the US. I picked my 2.4/32GB/2TB/8GB up on refurb and then returned it for a 2.3/64GB/2TB/8GB
