Trolling for choice MP on Apple Refurbished page

[Macrovertigo]

Hi, I have just discovered refurbished macs in time to shop for a Mac Pro. I can see right away that I will have to act fast when I see the right one, but has anyone out there a feel for how often they show up? (Yes, I searched first, but didn't come up with anyone's observations). Thanks!

Dont think there is any day they show up. Just check as early in the am as you can. Its a lottery really.
When I was looking for a base macbook it took 3 days of checking at around 5am to get one.

pretty much as I figured, thanks. I am waiting a couple of weeks more to make the actual purchase, so for now this is all practice and recreational window shopping.

The search is ended

for the record, today I bought the 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processor from the apple refurbished offerings ... and glad of it.

I had my eye on one of those. I so want one so I can add the ATI 4870 eventually.

Cheers,

Apple is updating their site throughout the day. I've been refreshing it for the last few days. Stuff ends up there in the morning and usually in the evening. I've watched things "disappear" off of there in a matter of minutes.

Good luck!

busy Apple Refurbished page!

Yes, the offerings on the refurbished page come and go quickly. I watched a quad core 2.66 MP sit for a week unclaimed, and when I finally decided to buy it (the 733 G4 DA no longer wakes up at all), it was gone!! Yesterday I was glued to the set watching to see if another 2.66 would show, it never did, but while I watched I saw mac minis come and go like show girls, there must have been a dozen that were presented and were quickly snapped up.
