I got this L14 refurbished to use as a backup, Linux-only, laptop. But it’s quickly become the first thing I reach for, over my MacBook.
Plus, cutting an eye hole out of a sticker is the closest I will ever come to being crafty, but I think it looks cool.

Where’d you find yours? all I can think to check is eBay and I have a hunch there are cheaper prices elsewhere than what they’re offering.

Aka, pick up replaced hardware from businesses and resell. Not complaining, its my preferred approach for a few reasons.
Craigslist/FB marketplace are where you’ll find the best deals. I’ve never had good deals with recyclers.
Like 3 years ago I got my T14 Gen. 1 for $200, and last year I got my Gen. 3 for $250. Both machines new enough to still be in warranty. All from Marketplace.
Craigslist has worked fine for me in the past. Maybe there’s less there now but it hasn’t dried up yet.
