Best app to monitor refurb store? - Black - 09-17-2009

Sorry I didn't save it-- there was a recommendation posted previously for an app or widget that monitors the Apple Store refurbs and alerts you when a specific item comes on.

I gave this one a whirl for the last week or two:

http://www.refurb-store.com/en/

But it doesn't seem to be reliable.

Thx . . .

I have a dashboard widget that is I think is called RefurbMe. I am not on my MBP right now, or I would check. Look into a widget instead of a full blown old-school app.

yep, here it is

Actually hoping for a e-mail alert. Would most likely be at work when the item I seek comes on.

there are some options about alert notifications. Look on right side of the web page, halfway down. They list a newsletter option, based on your e-mail. Just a thought.

Thank you-- I had looked it over thoroughly, but I didn't make the connection that "Newsletter" meant e-mail alert.
We'll see how it works . . .
Thanks again.
