Also beware the SD card issue. If you are buying an Ally it's best to just assume the SD card reader is dead or will be dead at some point. It's safer to just put the money you'd spend on an SD Card toward an new larger internal SSD.
For sale prices though, the standard Z1 model becomes much more appealing at $400, and especially at $300 for open box. I picked up a standard Z1 open box model at Best Buy for $300, and it ended up being in like new condition. At that price, I am very happy. Even new games run pretty well at 720p, and anything from a year or two ago is able to run with decent to excellent performance.
The games still look great at 720p at this size screen, so as long as you don't mind the lower resolution for newer games, it runs quite well. The standard model doesn't get very hot either and stays very quiet, so I can't complain for the price I paid. At $400 the price is still decent, though I wouldn't have paid that much for mine originally.
Should be the normal price
if it wasnt for the SD card frying thing I'd grab one.

if you browse on offer up, I am sure you can find z1e at 400. This is the street price for used z1e nowadays.

I ended up just getting the chunky Go. Best Buy also has some great open box deals for it.
