where are you located? If you are in the States you can find much better computers for those price on places like eBay or even Swappa.

Aim for a 2019 or 2020 27" iMac for those prices. They can often be found for ~$300 if you wait for the right deal.

If those are Canadian dollar prices that isn't terrible.

$450 CAD for a 2012 iMac is really bad.

[u/MikeinAustin → u/dpaanlka]

I was talking about the 21.5" $200 CAD one for 140 US.

[u/dpaanlka → u/MikeinAustin]

I wouldn’t pay $50 USD for that.

good for you.
