Since then our sponsor’s prices have been climbing steadily and are a bit overpriced, IMHO, but I guess if the market supports it then it’s understandable.
There are plenty of reasonably priced trash cans on eBay if you need one.

Over priced? We're a lot less than Apple has (had) them on their refurb store.... and have really good prices on the D300 used units and same goes for the D500 units that are all Apple Refurb complete and either come with Apple 1yr or OWC 1yr warranty depending on how custom configured.

What's mainly gone up have been some of the processors and that's affected prices. We ran out of a couple of the popular speeds and they had a higher cost on restock - so that reorder some stuff. Compared to Apple refurb, the 12-core pricing we're doing is a bargain.

But for sure - all higher than 2 months ago. No offense taken, etc.
