Q: Trying to re-install Yosemite
While trying to re-install Yosemite, the message from the App Store is: "This item is temporarily unavailable." Therefore, the MacBook Pro, (early 2011) I am attempting to prepare to give away is stuck in recovery mode. Any ideas?

What about if you boot into Internet Recovery.
option command R on restart.
This should present you with the OS X that shipped on the Mac pre-Yosemite.
edit:
Yosemite is no longer avaialble, if you "purchased" it before it will be in your Purchases at the App Store and maybe able to download and create an Installer SD card
OS X versions and builds included with Mac computers - Apple Support
Your early 2011 either shipped with 10.6 or 10.7 In either case you need the install DVD that shipped with the machine originally or come up with some other means.
