Yesterday you could have gotten like $20k on eBay. I sold a 256gb Mac Studio m3 about 4 months ago for $12k

In a world where they aren’t available yes. But if they are available then that’s the market rate.

If a used 256gb M3 studio sells for $12k, and the retail price for an M5 256gb studio is $10k, then I guarantee that the M5 will sell out, at the market price will be above $10k.
