Newegg used to have One(1) listed, a year or so ago. Maybe they still do.

The problem with buying new, I suspect, is that if you want it, then
you more or less *need* it for some characteristic it has, which in
turn means it has a component of demand that will make it relatively*
expensive to buy.

cheap", as it's usually said from the perspective of having a budget
much larger than I do. It forces me to add weasel words. /pedantic
footnote. /rant.
