I have not purchased a new ups in ages... I've been purchasing used
ones. What I do is offer a price that reflects my belief that the
batteries are shot and need replacing. Typically, after paying shipping
and replacing the batteries, I am between 35 and 40 cents on the dollar
as compared to the same ups purchased as new equipment. FWIW: I've
bought both APC and Triplite as used. Experience has taught me that APC
makes a more durable product.

Best
