Used Apple Silicon Macbook Pro prices are too good?

I’ve been trying to change my M1 Professional 16” 16GB 1TB to an 14” model with 32GB. It appears that evidently my workload doesn’t maxes out the CPU, however with video games maybe extra GPU can be nice.

Usually I purchase MBP straight from Apple on launch day. I checked the apple web site for the M3 Professional after which additionally checked refurb/ebay/swappa/amazon/b&h. I discovered the used and discounted pricing relatively too good to omit.

It’s very arduous to search out used MBP with 32GB+ with M2/3 Execs, I assume they’re customized construct/ordered so individuals who have ordered them will hold it longer. There are extra availability with base fashions MBP, so the one base mannequin with with 32GB+ are the M2/3 Maxes. Thus far I obtained these:

MBP 14” 1TB 36GB

M3 Professional 12/18,
Apple new $2600
Apple Refurb $2380

M3 Max 14/30
Apple new $3200
Apple Refurb $2720
Used $2300-2400 (some nonetheless with apple care or guarantee)

I additionally appeared on the M2 costs which I didn’t suppose the value discount was that a lot in comparison with the M3 in the meanwhile. It’s arduous to not purchase a used M3 Max in the meanwhile.

I’m nonetheless pondering whether or not I ought to watch for the M4 bulletins (to see if the M3 Max costs will drop considerably). An M3 Max would simply fulfill my computing wants, I don’t suppose an M4 Professional full value can be higher than the M3 Max, besides perhaps in battery life?
