We buy Macs all the time. Nick is the IT Mgr at his pre-press job, so he's always buying and selling equipment. Go look around on eBay and if you find something that looks like it'll work for you, email me the link and we'll check it out. Stick to Intel chip Macs to extend their shelf life for OS software. Support for non-Intel Macs has been discontinued. :)
Like misangeia, I have learned to loe the term "used", as well as "ebay" (and along with ebay, http://justsnipe.com , to only bid what you want at the last minute). I've bought so much good used stuff off of ebay lately that I might need to start selling stuff off to make room.
I haven't bought any computers off of ebay yet, but when I get some money I will. Like Sharkbait, I too like Dells. We bought Dells when I worked at ISS.net and they were the most trouble-free laptops I have ever evaluated. So I refereed my sister to Dell in 2005 and she has been problem free ever since (much better than the Shuttle Desktop I got for her a few years before). Plus, I have a Dell Lattitude CPi I got from ISS when they were throwing stuff out...(to tell you how old this thing is, Google Dell Lattitude CPi 300 and see how little you can find on the internet)...and it still works!...

So, so much for your "Macs are too expensive" bullshit.
Meh.
