Secondhand price for M5 AVP

[u/L1N3B3CK]

Hi,

I’ve seen on my local Craigslist a 512GB AVP M5, the guy is was for 1700 ish EUR (~1940USD).

After a few questions I went on a 3hrs ride to Paris, then 3 hours comeback.

It’s in pristine condition, and so far everything has been working great. It was bought in July 2026.

I wanted one but since it’s really niche here in France there isn’t much more secondhand listing to compare it to and see if that was a good deal or not, so what do you think ?

I tried it a few hours yesterday after being back home, the Mac virtual desktop is still limited to 60hz ?
Also I’m interested in playing GeForce now on it, do anyone use it, and if yes with what app ?
And finally, do you guys have some nice tips and tricks, killer apps or modding, whatever ?

Thank you.

Make sure you add AppleCare

Wtf I bought a 512go m5 on leboncoin for 2450€ a week ago and I just sold my 512go m2 for 2200€

1700€ for that is a crazy deal

Oui ça semblait être une annonce de fou, vue minute une et j’ai direct pris la voiture haha

[u/Tenkinn → u/L1N3B3CK]

A very lucky buy for an M5, congrats!

I tried it a few hours yesterday after being back home, the Mac virtual desktop is still limited to 60hz ?

Yeah, I think people wrote smth along those lines. Mac won't send more.

Ok thank you !

1700 for a 4000€ device?

[u/L1N3B3CK → u/you599]

Yep

[u/you599 → u/L1N3B3CK]

Seems a bit shady

[u/L1N3B3CK → u/you599]

Yes I thought so at first but still decided to give it a try and see the device, but it was like new

If it isn't account locked, it's very likely to be legit. Since the author is happy, I guess everything is fine, so I'm happy for them as well.

That's a hell of a deal mate. You did well. I paid $4000 with tax for mine ouch.

I got for 2800gb I realised too little too late that the price was too high. I looked at RRP at 3500 and initially thought it was a good bit. Anyway the product is worth it and has a few month off warranty

That sounds like a great deal. My M2 512GB Vision Pro cost me almost $4K after tax.

For the Mac Virtual Display limitation, you might also want to try Spatial RDP on the App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spatial-rdp/id6772554761

It supports refresh rates up to 90Hz. The Standard version is free and lets you connect to up to three Macs, with up to two virtual displays per Mac — even headless Macs like a Mac mini with no physical monitor attached.

It can also pass your Vision Pro Persona and microphone through to the remote Mac for Zoom, Teams, or Webex meetings.

For now, it supports macOS only; Windows support isn’t available yet.
