Price basis
WHOLE-SYSTEM used Mac Studio (M1 Ultra, 128GB unified memory). $3,400 = the midpoint of the Dec-2026-observed asking band $2,899-4,049, captured 2026-10-14 via the PicClick eBay mirror / used-Mac inventory sweep by the research-price-refresh subagent. VERIFIED DELTA: +20-35% over the Oct-2026 baseline $2,500 recorded in supply/used-mac-studio-m1-ultra-128gb - used high-RAM Macs have risen on the 2026 DRAM shortage (new high-RAM Macs are expensive, pulling used values up ~10-15% since early 2026). ASKING price, not a sold/completed transaction price. PERISHABLE-FIGURE STAMP: OBSERVED 2026-10-14. RE-VERIFY BY: 2027-01-14.

notes
Verdict PARTIALLY CHANGED vs the Oct-2026 record: a used M1 Ultra 128GB is still the cheapest plug-in ticket to ~12 tok/s on 70B Q4 (800 GB/s unified memory, whisper-quiet ~90-150W under load), but at $2,899-4,049 it is less attractive than at the prior ~$2,500 midpoint. The DRAM-driven inflation narrows its value gap against a 4x used 3090 rig and the Strix Halo boxes. Apple RAM is soldered forever - the capacity you buy is the capacity you keep.
