Apple's Online Refurb Store Outage Reaches Third Day [Updated]

[KdParker]

I can view it on puffin browser too on my iPad which is a virtual browser located in the USA and it still loads fine.

Have you tried browsing in an incognito browser/private browsing mode?

I am seeing refurbished products in the online store.

No problems here

US Store works fine for me...

FWIW, I've tried multiple times over the past few days, using my MacBook Pro with both Safari and Firefox and my iPhone via both Wi-Fi and cellular...have not been able to see any stock in the refurb store.

Refurb Store is empty for me too. 1:33 EST in US.

It seems to come and go

 

[DraziGuy]

It must be location based. I can't see it on either my MacBook or any of my Windows systems, but as I said earlier, I could see stuff from the Apple store about 70km away.

Refurb store is working normally for me.

I'm in the U.S. and this is what I get:

Same for me.

Working fine over here.

Works fine here.

 

[bad03xtreme]

Yea all the options are grayed out.

I think it's just a glitch. I didn't notice any products yesterday afternoon, but I did last night. Today it is "out of stock" again.

 

[chadua]

Yep I'm one of the ones who can see the stock.

Clearly Apple is on to you. They know you make the big bucks and you can afford to buy new.

In all seriousness, I've tried it with a couple of different browsers. No trouble on my iMac. But I see what you're talking about on my iPhone. Very strange.

 

[ellsworth]

I see everything just fine

 

[wywern209]

everything looks fine to me when i look at the refurb page. many different products in stocks. MBAs and ipod nanos.

No problems here, am in the UK.

I was able to see the refurbs last night

When surfing these boards last night, I saw a post about no more 17" MBPs in the refurb store, so I clicked the link and saw a slew of them.

Late on the draw again

This is what you get when you power your website with the most powerful Mac software: FileMaker Pro

Refurbs still up for me. They've never been gone, actually. I thought the empty refurb store was only overseas? I've been browsing for a few days, thinking of pulling the trigger on refurb Time Capsule.

 

[lermal]

Same for me.

I just checked and I get the same.

£399 for a refurbished iPad 2?! That's $615 US, I knew the pricing was much higher for Apple products overseas but c'mon, that's ridiculous!

The £399 includes a 20% VAT (effectively sales tax). Welcome to Europe, don't go to Hungary VAT is 27% there.

Then you add the cost of transportation ($8+ per gallon of gas), "free" healthcare, 6 weeks of vacation benefits, etc. I'd say £399 is actually "cheaper" than in the US.

Free to recipient != free of cost

Forcing a deep browser reload may help until they do.
