Where is refurbished Apple cheapest?
423 refurbished Apple configurations listed in 3+ countries in the last 30 days, priced against the cross-country median in EUR (index 100). Cheapest: Hong Kong at 85 (no sales tax); cheapest with VAT included: Taiwan at 94; most expensive: United Kingdom at 106.
Price index by store
For each configuration, every store's lowest listed price in the last 30 days is converted to EUR and divided by the median of all stores selling it (100 = median, 90 = 10% cheaper). A store's index is the median over its configurations; n is how many it was compared on. Stores compared on fewer than 5 configurations are left out.
Prices are what each Apple store shows: United States and Canada prices exclude sales tax (added at checkout, depending on state or province), Hong Kong has no sales tax, and every other store includes VAT or GST. Apple ships refurbished products only to addresses in the store's own country, so a lower price elsewhere is only useful if you can receive it there.
* excludes sales tax. Blue: cheaper than the median; red: more expensive.

Based on Apple Refurbished Store listings in 21 countries, checked every few minutes since Sep 22, 2026 (data up to 2026-10-17 22:28 UTC). A listing that disappears and returns within 2 hours is treated as a scrape glitch, not a sale and restock. Stock that was already on sale when a store was first tracked has no known listing time and is left out of timing figures.
