I don't think you're going to find any M2s for half the price. They hold their value pretty solidly.

They won't if the M3 turns out to be a significant upgrade.

That’s honestly just not how Apple hardware resale value has ever worked. The new M3 hardware could double the performance of the previous generation and they would only drop in price by maybe a few hundred.

One big outlier; the recent Intel Macs have dropped far more in value than expected.

And that outlier is the last /significant/ difference in performance.

M1->M2 wasn't that big, generally seen as a small incremental improvement at best, and the last few Intel updates barely moved the needle between them.

I see ones like mine on eBay for more than 50% of what I paid for it, and it's four years old.
