Ever considered second hand slightly older gens? Even M1 is still great for many use cases. E.g. often corps are selling them on Ebay, in pretty good condition.

Mac prices on eBay are sort of bizarre. Back when I was looking (when you could still purchase a new one in a reasonable timeframe) many of the higher end listings cost as much or more (!) then just getting them from Apple. I ended up buying an Apple certified refurbished Mac Studio for less than the comparable eBay listing.

Not sure who’s buying these or if it’s just people dreaming about finding a rube.

Indeed, ton's of refurbished for $250-$300
