Price basis
WHOLE-SYSTEM used/renewed Mac Studio (M3 Ultra, 96GB unified memory). $5,200 = the midpoint of the Dec-2026-observed asking band $4,899-5,599, captured 2026-10-14 via the PicClick eBay mirror / refurb-tracker sweep by the research-price-refresh subagent. VERIFIED DELTA: +22-40% over the Oct-2026 baseline (~$3,999 new-refurb floor recorded in supply/used-mac-studio-m3-ultra-96gb) - the premium is holding because new high-RAM M3 Ultra SKUs anchor the used market upward on the 2026 DRAM shortage. ASKING price, not a sold/completed transaction price. PERISHABLE-FIGURE STAMP: OBSERVED 2026-10-14. RE-VERIFY BY: 2027-01-14.

notes
Verdict UNCHANGED in shape, WORSE in price: the 96GB M3 Ultra remains a strong 70B-Q4 / MoE box (~15 tok/s measured on 70B 4-bit, 800 GB/s), but the +22-40% premium move means it no longer undercuts the 256GB tier as a value play. Capacity note: this record's 96GB pool is BELOW the apple-m3-ultra accelerator record's vram_gb=512 (max config) - under the fit-matrix capacity-match rule this SKU should not be joined as a price for the max-config part.
