People seem to have forgotten eBay exists -- the A1242/3 is still readily available on there.

I cringe a little seeing all this affection for the A1243, after having seen scads of them go into the scrap heap at my local nonprofit electronics recycler.

The A1243 is available on eBay, but the A1242 is really hard to find here in Germany. Hence the iMac detour.

+1 for eBay, anyway. I've made an exception for my M1 MacBook, but generally I try to buy everything used.
