The official Creality Refurb eBay store has a bunch of 3D printers (and scanners) on sale, and there is a %15 off coupon making the deals even sweeter.
The amount you can save depends on how much risk you want to take with respect to warranty, and if you decide to go for the cheapest, there are tons of posts/videos on how to repair and/or upgrade all of the parts on this printer that can wear out / break (tips, gears, etc.).
The K1 Max retails for $799 right now, and the K2 Plus CFS combo is $1300 (I think)

Part of what I have been learning is the modding/upgrading/repair info and community on these printers is vibrant, so the risk feels a bit less than for buying a refurb thing where a community like this doesn't exist. These do have 30 day return policy as well, atlhough it sounds like a difficult process to return? I dunno, there is a lot of good feedback, but there is also some pretty nasty feedback too, it sounds like luck may play a part here.
I am keeping an eye on this as I have no idea what will show up tomorrow from B&H. Almost always the stuff I get used from B&H is excellent, better than described condition, but once or twice (out of like 60-70 orders, mostly lenses and photography stuff) I did get something that wasn't as good as it should have been. If I end up getting a lemon, I think I am gonna jump on this K2 combo deal if it is still alive.

Mailed it back and they refunded next day. You need to take it apart and the person is just looking at a bunch of pieces. They aren't going to waste the time trying to fix it.
Support wasn't fast, usually took 2 days for replies and took another week for the part, but they replaced everything that was wrong. Now I'm debating upgrading the V3 Plus for the K1 Max as I really would like an enclosure.
So once I can talk to B&H tomorrow when they are open again, if the can cover the cost of the plate and bed, or something along those lines, then I will probably keep it. If not, then I will be ordering this K2 plus combo deal, and I can post here what my experience is...
The printer had 104 hours on it when I got it and it had one saved previous print from May that took about 13 hours. I am guessing that the print saved on the machine was the test print after refurbishment. I have already put nearly another 100 hours on the machine with no issues.
This is the best large form printer for the price. I debated between this and the Bambu Labs and Prusa equivalents and this is significantly cheaper while still giving great print quality. I upgraded from an Ender 3 pro that I had for about 10 years that would occasionally have issues but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a cheap component. I don't get why Creality gets the hate that it gets. They have been amazing printers for me. I enjoy tinkering with them and all of the fixes I have had to make were small and easy.
