I've not looked but are most of these being sold off from corporations who
have upgraded?

So why do you care? Whining that they don't carry Toshiba, HP, or
whatever you happen to want in a brand name?

I place the same value on ebay as I do on a flea market. I might buy a
used toaster for fifty cents but that's as far as I'll go. YMMV

Especially as the eBay Dells are more expensive than direct from Dell - See
