If you don't want to do eBay and you're near a Micro Center, they often have some really old refurbished stuff in stock. Got myself a 2014 Mac mini for $250. :

  I think it depends on the Micro Center. I've been going to the one in Parkville since it opened, and will keep doing until either it dies or I do. Back in 2015 I got a really nice refurbed 2014 MBP that I still use daily, but a couple years later they dropped a lot of old stock in their Apple section and there's been next to nothing in there ever since - latest models of hardware, a few matching accessories, and that's more or less all there is to it. I haven't asked about that that I can recall, but my guess is they don't see a lot of margin on that stuff, especially with at least two Apple stores in easy driving distance and most Apple customers tending strongly to favor the latest and greatest. Disappointing, but with the streaming boom then being on the upswing, I really can't blame them for making space to cater to the open-walleted parents of a million infants in Fortnite t-shirts. Still, if you have a Micro Center nearby and you haven't been, you should go there. It's like what computer stores used to be, back when those still existed.
