Do Apple stores sell any refurbished macb… - Apple Community
I have heard (and experienced) exactly the opposite. Each local store has a supply of refurbished products in addition to those on the open box/discount table by the cash wrap. When I am in an Apple Store on the mainland, I ask them what "renewed" or "refreshed" products they have in the back. More on discussions.apple.com
Do the prices in the refurbished store drop after an update?
Yes they do. I saved an extra $100 off my MacBook Air by waiting until after a refresh.

Of course. Buying refurbished products directly from Apple is a good way to pay less, in my experience. When Apple refurbishes a product, the product is sent back to a service center where faulty or damaged parts - including parts with scratches or blemishes - are removed and replaced with brand-new parts. Then it undergoes a battery of low-level and high-level tests to ensure all parts function correctly. When you receive an Apple-refurbished product, it is virtually indistinguishable from a new product. It quite literally looks and smells new. And it comes with the same standard warranty and support as a new product. The only noticeable difference you will see when purchasing a refurbished product from Apple is that the packaging is plain rather than being the standard retail packaging, and of course the price is often significantly reduced compared to a new product. I’ve purchased Apple refurbished products for years and have been pleased with every single one. But other retailers do not use Apple’s process when they refurbish items. Each one is different. Some give you a product with scratches, blemishes, and even fingerprints on it. Some do little more than wipe the product with a rag and throw it back in the box. A few do component-level (soldering, etc) repairs that may or may not actually fix all of the problems. Many don’t even bother testing full device functionality after “repair” is done. And often there is no adjustment to the original manufacturer’s warranty, which means depending on the age of the device, you’re only going to get a partial warranty - assuming the warranty wasn’t invalidated by whoever “repaired” it before you got it. For this reason, I don’t recommend buying refurbished Apple products from anyone but Apple directly.

At least some refurbished items are eligible for in-store pickup, but you must order through the online Apple Store. The retail Apple Stores don't stock refurbished items, unless things have changed very recently, so you can't just walk in and buy one.Regards.
