Just like the title says. Its a 2021 14" M1 MBP for $1000 - The laptop looks super clean from the pictures I've seen. Is this a great deal or just so so?
Got a tip for us?

It also depends on which variant (configuration) of the MBP they are selling. While it is a small possibility that the seller either doesn't know or doesn't care about the actual resale value, it is also possible that this machine was obtained through less than legitimate methods, especially if it is a higher specced variant of the 14" Pro.
As others have said, it’s too good of a deal. If it’s from a genuine seller, that would be a very great price for such powerful machine. If, however, you can’t confirm the credibility of the seller, then it’s way too fishy.
that has a good return policy, warranty, reviews, etc.
Lots of posts in MacRumors about "good deals" that resulted in buyers losing all of their money.
To answer your question … it’s a good deal. On eBay you would pay more. But if the seller tries to trade it in or sell it to a resale site he will get slightly less than $1000. So the motivation to sell easy and quickly might be there and priced accordingly. Google is your friend, ask for the serial number to see if it’s stolen.
