I went through the process of choosing my MBP to sell: Mid 2011, 8gb, 500gb, 2.7 GHz i7 and it told me that there's no such product.

What does 'there's no such product' mean? Should it say 'we're not currently buying that product'?

I'm typing on it right now so I can assure you that it does exists.

Hi. You are correct. Please email me at [email protected] and I'll update you on when your product has been added to our database.

I suggest you change your wording. Saying there's no such product makes me think I either entered in some wrong information and try again.. and again... or makes me think there's a mistake in your system.

Your best bet would be having an email opt-in pop up letting me know it's not currently a product you're buying but I can be notified when you are. (like you just did)

Well in some scenarios, there are no such products due to people clicking multiple filters in the same category.

We're working on making them better and adjusting them to different scenarios.

You're product will be added shortly and I will update this thread as soon as it becomes available.
