Some deals on refurbished mbp, for example, https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Apple-Systems/Used/MacBook-Pro
Take a look at Amazon for remaining stock on unused ones.

You may be better off waiting a few or seeing what eBay has to offer.
I'm not sure how far the 'last' models will drop at this point, and as I needed a max RAM and SSD spec system (16GB/1TB min), I was happy when I found a used 2015 rMBP for $1500, as it's been 'time' to replace my 2011 primarily for battery and the CPU and port upgrades for a bit.
That price seems 'good' at the moment, while I'm seeing others trying to sell at $1800-$2200 for similar (or even some 2014s), but I expect prices on reforms, closeouts, or used systems will settle out a bit in the next month or so, or in the worst case, after the US holidays if you can wait a bit longer.

Apple certified and from Apple's refurbished store http://www.apple.com/shop/product/F...d=aos-us-kwgo-pla-mac-slid--product-FJLQ2LL/A
Best pricing isn't always the best deal. I would strictly buy from Apple's refurbished store if you want to save money and get a 100% Apple certified product with genuine Apple warranty (as opposed to some third-party warranty.)
Ok cool, I wonder would the Apple Store refurb prices drop any further? Ive no experience in buying refurb, my first mbp is the one i still have from brand new

Thought I'd add something here. Apple uses Barclay where they will finance your Apple purchase interest free for up to 18 months. You can easily check if you qualify at the Apple refurbished store online. However I don't know if refurb prices will drop any more in the future.
Try eBay as they're out there. High rate on used seems to be up to ~$2k, a few outliers from silly people still. Unsure if the price remains the same or drops after benchmarks are in on the 2016 model.
Picked up a 2015 16GB 1TB 2.5GHz dGPU for $1500.
I paid like 4k for it after financing. This is a max 2015 15". I think it was like $3500 for the main price. I would let go of this machine for 3k. Its not really time for me to upgrade but I would use the opportunity to switch back to a pc laptop if macs are going to continue to get thinner and less powerful. This is like if in 2012 the new retina macs had the same 4gb ram as all the pc laptops because "battery life" or whatever, I would have never become a mac user.
Looking at this myself.
On the fence of a 2015 macbook pro vs getting an alienware 15 laptop or likewise. Need a laptop with more umph. Currently on the 2013 mba with 4 gigs ram. Good for basic stuff. But need stuff for work now. This laptop won't cut it.
Would opt for the rMBP 15" with 512gb SSD and 16gb ram. Seems like a better deal than the new laptops. I think its like $2000? on amazon. To configure the new mbp, I'd up the HD to 512 and I'd prob opt for the higher spec'd video card. Ringing up around $2800. I do Radiology and have 2 3MP monitors at home, so I'd like to drive those monitors. Biggest draw back is that I don't think the video card can get properly due to 12 bit gray scale or something like that. Still need to do some research on it.

I guess there's a sicker born every moment, but 2k Max is more what I've seen, maybe $2100 with existing AC on it. Good luck.
