52k Mac Pros are probably <0.5% of Apple's unit sales and just not representative. Why even bother writing articles about subjects like this, it's such a niche issue that affects virtually nobody, is written to generate clicks, and is a complete non-issue for the obviously ridiculously loaded individuals out there buying 50k Macs and selling them shortly after, and are unwilling to use any of the million alternative sales channels that are available to them. It's a free market, just ignore a passive offer for the opportunity to resell a purchased product for very little and continue on with your life.
I mean I've literally never, ever, in my life, sold a product I bought, to the company or person that sold it to me. The fact that one of these companies happens to offer a ridiculously low-ball price is not news, it's completely irrelevant.
It's a funny thing, sure. Feel free to mock Apple for it. But the whole outrage with words like 'disrespecting customers' is just silly.
If you think it's so easy and straightforward to pay significantly more than Apple and resell the things for even more, enjoy the free profits with your new business. I happen to have met a guy who's been reselling Macs for the past 10-15 years or so, to the tune of a low seven figure profit annually at a NYE party a few weeks back. Be less outraged and enjoy the business opportunities, I'd say.
