I buy a thinkpad every month or so off ebay (for clients). I just bought a T16 Gen 3 Core Ultra 5 32GB/512GB NPU for $575 delivered w/ zero charge cycles, in orig packaging. Technically not new but it had never been used.

I'm typing this on a T14 Gen 2 Ryzen 7 Pro 32GB/512GB I picked up last year for $220. For my work bag I just bought a T14 Gen 3 i5-1250P 32GB/512GB WWAN for $370 that looks new.

I'm pushing folks to buy now - anything they'll need in the next 2 years. I'm convinced Ramageddon is trickling down into the (>3yo) used market. Ebay prices already seem up a bit from a few months ago.
