what happened
One recorded proof point. Exact timestamps.
The June 1 receipt has the useful chain: local detection, the outbound alert, and the later third-party email.
RefurbSitter does not auto-buy, does not touch Apple credentials, and only points you at official Apple refurbished listings. Inventory can still sell out before checkout.
set the next watch first
Waiting until the email arrives is the slow path.
Pick the Mac Studio or Mac mini, chip, memory, and storage you want. RefurbSitter keeps watching Apple's refurbished store and sends the alert when the exact config appears.
freeRefund if alerts fail
One watch, no card, delayed alerts. Good for testing the workflow.If we miss a matching restock or alert you more than 10 minutes late in your first 7 days, we refund the pass in full.
