Apple police their prices very strictly, so very rare to get cheap
prices. And I normally don't recommend buying s/h computers since the
price/performance has been falling so fast over the last couple of
decades that s/h machines are almost always over priced. And there is
no better way to put someone off buying a mac than having them
experience OS X on a slow machine.
