RefurbMe is a free comparison site for refurbished Apple products. We help you find the best deals across professional refurbishers without charging you anything.

How RefurbMe makes money

RefurbMe earns revenue through affiliate commissions. When you click through to a refurbisher's website from RefurbMe and make a purchase, we receive a small commission from that seller. This is how we keep the service free for everyone.

  • We do not sell products. RefurbMe is not a store. All purchases happen directly on the refurbisher's website.
  • We do not mark up prices. The prices you see on RefurbMe are the same prices listed on the seller's site.
  • We are not paid to rank sellers. Product listings are sorted by price, not by commission rates.

Affiliate partnerships allow us to operate independently. We are not owned by or financially tied to any single refurbisher, which means our comparisons remain unbiased.

What is free for users

Everything on RefurbMe is completely free to use. There are no hidden fees, premium tiers, or paywalls:

  • Price comparison across dozens of refurbishers in 7 markets (US, CA, GB, FR, DE, IT, ES)
  • Price alerts to get an email when an offer at or under your price comes in stock
  • Availability alerts to know when an out-of-stock item comes back
  • Refurbisher comparisons covering warranty, return policies, and customer ratings
  • Condition guides to help you understand cosmetic grades and pick the right option

Your data and privacy

We take your privacy seriously:

  • We do not sell your personal data. The services that receive it, such as our email provider, are listed in the privacy policy.
  • We do not store payment information. Transactions happen entirely on the refurbisher's website, so RefurbMe never handles credit card details or billing addresses.
  • Your email address is used to send the alerts you set up and the weekly deal digest, which confirming your email address also turns on. You can stop the digest and keep your alerts. After a seller reports a purchase you made through RefurbMe, we also email you once to ask for a review, and Trustpilot receives a copy. Read why RefurbMe asked you for a review.
  • You can delete your data at any time. We make it straightforward to remove your account and all associated information.
