John-John,

I agree with Tom that eBay is good, if you know what you are looking for, know 
prices and can accept some risk.

I usually gravitate toward Apple’s refurb site for the best quality at 
discounts that are pretty good most of the time and warranted as if they were 
new (they even qualify for the full AppleCare experience).

I just bought my wife a previous model MacBook Air on a Cyber Monday deal, but 
they are on the Refurb site for a similar price ($849), which is pretty good 
for a last year’s model computer from Apple that runs pretty well and is 
indistinguishable from new.

That’s about the cheapest you are going to find for “new.” 

Another approach is to go to someplace like TechRestore or SimplyMac. That way 
if you have an issue with it you can take it back and be face-to-face with 
someone whose reputation is on the line. NOT a feature of eBay, I’m afraid.
