On June 1, we caught a 64GB Mac Studio.
We alerted 32 seconds after spotting it. The competing refurb monitor's email for the same Mac took about an hour, and these configs can sell out in minutes.

Questions.
Is this a scalper bot?
No. It's an alert. You decide whether to buy, and every purchase happens on apple.com.
Why not just build my own script?
You can. We did. The hard part is uptime, polling under Apple's rate limits, and a push that reaches you in seconds. On June 1 our alert went out 32 seconds after detection.
Why $69?
Most people need this for a buying window, not forever. The 90-Day Hunt Pass catches a rare config without locking you into a subscription.
Can you guarantee I get the Mac?
No. Refurb stock is first-come, first-served and can sell out fast. We promise a faster, timestamped alert and a direct Apple link. Checkout is up to Apple and you.
How is this different from free email monitors?
Push over email, and we publish receipts. In one recorded instance on June 1, our alert beat a competitor email by about an hour. We publish that one receipt rather than claim it always happens.
Your config could drop today.

I built RefurbSitter while hunting high-memory Mac refurbs for myself. Its alerts are how I caught the Mac mini and the Mac Studios I bought on apple.com. The service only watches Apple and sends the alert. You do the buying.
