Not a whole lot to lose besides a little time if you end up having to return it for whatever reason.
These are still incredibly capable (and efficient) laptops, especially with 32GB of RAM... better device than basically any other PC laptop you could get in this price range. Fit/finish is just on a completely different level.
Even though it's older, the "Pro" and "Max" versions of Apple's chips are significantly more powerful than the base models.
They tend to be better if you need graphics for games or other software.
All of these sellers are the same. Nothing is "refurbished". It's used with an Allstate aftermarket warranty. They wipe the drive and if you're lucky they'll wipe it down with some isopropyl alcohol.
As for speed, these are not far behind than the modern M4 devices AND they have more RAM. As we all know, RAM is impossible to buy these days. There's not really a day to day difference with M1 Pro w/ 32 GB RAM vs. modern M4 Pro w/ 24 GB RAM for like 95% of tasks. Single core performance is nearly identical.

Last I checked, the MBA M1 screen costs around $300 to get repaired -- which was more than the typical cost of the laptop used.
Once they determine something is end of maintenance life, usually no amount of money is going to get them to fix it.
And as for you owning a M1 Max and not selling it, irrelevant to this discussion. But I'll humor it -- why WOULD you sell off a highly depreciated sunk cost that was still functional/usable?

Models like qwen3:30b-a3b, glm-4.7-flash, gpt-oss:20b, and the new qwen3.5:35b-a3b are all pretty fast & capable within reason on an M1 Max. Sure they're not going to bang out a complex app in a single prompt, but they are super useful for things like summarizing or 'asking questions' about a document using RAG (retrieval augmented generation), translating, helping drum up ideas when troubleshooting or brainstorming, etc..
Qwen3.5:35b-a3b might be a little heavy memory wise for 32GB though, but qwen3:30b-a3b should run well on this, along with gpt-oss:20b.
battery health 83% not ideal but in line with expectation
Exterior perfect , just minor "gloss" on keyboard
Small blemish on screen
I would say it is better than the "good" description
I was able to add it to AppleCare One (YMMV, has to be less than 4 y old)
one interesting point is on first opening it appeared to be set to Pakistan time zone / region.
In terms of the M1 Pro I really have no issues. I use a m4 pro Mac mini at the office and not wishing I paid more for a newer chip. Kind of wanted something as a wait and see for when the new MacBook Pro design comes out.
Budget $100-200 for fresh battery as these certified used have 80% battery health left
M1 air stopped production in 2025 as 2026 A18 air replaces it
