Do they price based on unit condition?
There are often several machines with the same specs but prices varying 50-100 dollars.

Some machines may look like they're the same specs but they're not. They're usually from different revisions or have slightly different CTO options.
Thanks. Maybe someone was not adjusting prices right either. In this case it wasn't a revision difference because those particular specs were only available in the last revision. I noticed now the specs are listed as different for those models. I have seen models listed with the same specs with price differences several times. Maybe they use a template then change it.
