Just buy it directly from Apple

You sound like the kind of sucker that ripoff artists love. They will sell you a defective phone, or one that had been stolen and is bricked. ONLY buy from reputable dealers. And do not expect huge Black Friday sales unless you are willing to pick up a long and overpriced contact.

Second hand, many options. Apple, Best Buy, etc. Pretty much anywhere that sells them new should have used/refurbished options. Of course there's also eBay, Craigslist as well.

New (for way less), definitely not an option.
