If new, sure, but then you're in for a lot more money than the Pi.

If it's used, I'm not interested.

Used = value. But if you want new and still cheap, there are mini PCs with SoC style pentiums, barebines around $200, $20/8gb ram and 20/256gb nvme. And they can often have 2.5gb Ethernet these days.

My mini PC was $150. Definitely more than a RPi but not insane.
