I went to buy a refurbished iPhone 8, and it's out of stock. Has anyone noticed if this is the first time it's been out since they added it, or has it been going in and out for the past couple weeks?

Also, any tips on how to get alerts when it comes back in stock?

I looked as well early last week and they were out of stock.

There is no way to be alerted if the refurbished iPhones are back in stock, And with Apple, it could be days, weeks or even months if they return the iPhone 8 back to stock. Apple has to have so many units available before they will actually will sell them as refurbished devices, but in all likelihood, being the 8 is such a new device, it’s almost guaranteed that They will return, it’s just a matter of when.
 
They go in and out of stock during the day. I just left a tab open last week when I was trying to get a 8+ and eventually did.
