Checking Best Buy Open Box and/or refurbished items for older Apple product models here and there still works great. I got a base M2 Max Mac Studio (32GB RAM/512 GB storage) for $334.99 before taxes. I had to drive a bit out to get it, but definitely worth it for the insane discount. It was marked as "Good" condition, but that seems to have just been the box's condition. The actual Mac Studio is in excellent condition and came with the power cable.

Crazy part is it seems to be new old stock. I checked the serial number online and the original purchase date was beginning January 2026 and limited warranty is good until beginning January 2027. Normal AppleCare+ is still eligible for purchase for another month.

Anyone else have similar stories of luck?

You found it listed online, then went to purchase? Or did you find it in store?
