No refurbished iMacs on Apple Store

[prometheus12]

Hi,
It's been a while since I saw refurbished iMacs on Apple Store. Just wondering if anyone knew if this is due to the refresh arriving soon, or them being sold our due to increased demand from WFH?

Thanks

I don't think a refresh has any impact on refurbs. Its more likely that Apple is getting less returns for whatever reason. I've seen this happen fairly regularly for Macs, not just iMacs. We go through an extended dry period and then they show up.

Is eBay the best bet for used macs or are they any other avenues for more reliable iMacs. I didn't find too many choices on Amazon or Best Buy.

There were some 21.5" and 27" last evening in the US refurb store. You have to check multiple times daily for some of the faster-moving stock.

Exactly! By checking daily I got exactly the iMac I wanted at $450 off list, shipped the next day and I had it two days after ordering. Not a mark on it and works fine.
