If you are thinking of buying used pseries servers or other items it would be better to go for the certified ones. An experienced provider who has earned a good reputation in the market over the years can serve you better providing your choice items at reasonable prices.
Such providers will have a reasonably good inventory of used products like the p610 through the p690 series. You may also come across the older generation items like the 7025, 7017, 7043 and 7046 in such inventories. The provider can probably give you complete systems as well that have been used or have been refurbished. In addition there will be processors, disks and memory chips of huge quantity available in any of these stores.
Conversely you may opt for the IBM used pSeries articles with very high qualities. Of course as the end user the ultimate choice will rest with you and you will have to decide the item you require for your specific purpose. The selection of the used pSeries item will largely depend on these factors.
Among the refurbished items you will find the pSeries machines that belong to the first generation. A quality provider however can make a fine combination of the ultra modern devices with these old time used pSeries items to provide something new and unique in nature. For instance, they can add to these items the new PCI features or the 15K RPM disk drives.
