By category

Time from a listing appearing (new or restocked) until it sold out. Listings still on sale are not counted yet, so slow sellers are under-represented while tracking is young. Stores that share stock (see restock times) each count their own listing.

Looking for individual listings? The fast sellers list shows US items that sold out within 24 hours.

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.
