Apple Studio Display Resell Prices Skyrockets to $3,000 — But Why

Apple Studio Display reselling prices now hit nearly a staggering $3,000, while some listing starts from a little over $2,000.

It is worth noting that the retail price tag of the Apple Studio Display only costs a total of $1,599. It now appears that buying the monitor outside of Apple sells more than its original cost.

As per a news story by The Verge, the Cupertino-based tech giant introduced its entry-level external display last March 2022.

While Apple is not entirely new in the display market, the Studio Display marks the return of the iPhone maker since it debuted the Pro Display XDR way back in 2020.

The Apple monitor in 2020 costs a whopping $4,999, making it unaffordable for most users. But, the all-new Studio Display comes with a cheaper price tag of $1,599.

Yes, it is still a bit more expensive than most entry-level offerings, but it is relatively cheaper than the Apple Pro Display XDR.

The new Studio Display flaunts a decent 5K display, The Verge notes in its review.

Not to mention that both its built-in speakers and mic were also remarkable features. So, it should be a great companion for the virtual meeting now and then. Well, except for its disappointing webcam quality, which Apple still tries to fix.

While it is supposed to sell for only $1,599, its online listing on websites like eBay now fetches extreme prices.

Apple Studio Display Resale Price

According to a recent report by 9to5Mac, a listing from a reseller on eBay now sells the entry-level Studio Display for a whopping $2,999. The markup is more than a thousand dollars of its retail price.

Sure, there are cheaper resale options, fetching roughly $2,800, but it is still far from its supposed pricing.

9to5Mac notes that if you are lucky enough, you can stumble upon resale prices as low as $2,000.

These eBay listings indicate that the Studio Display is still in "new" condition, but its price is more expensive than getting its brand new straight from the Apple Store.

But why has it gotten to this? Is the shortage really that bad?

9to5Mac also highlights that the Studio Display estimated delivery has been pushed back to August.
