Where is the best place to buy used enterprise servers? (lemmy.ml)

Right now I am looking at NZ's second hand marketplace TradeMe. But there are not very many options. Are there any other places I could look to buy? Or is it better to use a couple of Orange Pi 5s? My budget is $800 NZD or around $500 USD.

Where would one find 'local' stuff? Should I just email places and hope they have old servers they need to get rid of? Thanks.

Usually there are ad hoc marketplaces like even Facebook (blech), but even the thing I linked up there where there are a bunch of sysadmins looking for a quick buck by selling EOL stuff.

Try looking for it as if you were trying to buy used furniture.
