That's a bit of a difficult thing to do. Unless a supplier has been
saddled with unsold stock, you can only buy new. And buying second-
hand runs the usual risk that many scumbags just rip people off by
selling worn out, and knowingly broken, things without any conscience.
There are established, reputable sellers who provide a warranty:
There are some independent resellers who have been in business
for years and have built up a good reputation. Some of my friends
have been buying used Apple gear for years
For me, putting linux on a system that was introduced 2 years ago means
someone else has done the work of sorting out issues with drivers and
any fixes have made it into distributions. Sometimes there are features
that still don't work (sound, network) but cheap workarounds are known.
