Don’t bet on used hardware. Increased costs will lead to companies using their hardware longer. Higher demand for used hardware with lower supply will lead to higher prices.
In the enterprise you run on a tight schedule which you’re really not going to stretch that because your contracts are signed.
Even good SMB IT doesn’t let you run too long as supportability becomes an issue. When rebuilding a machine costs as much in IT hours as half a new machine, it makes sense to simply upgrade rather than spend money on a diminishing resource.
Smaller businesses may hold on, but they’re a tiny portion of what gets deployed.

Yeah, down time costs companies more than whatever savings from using hardware longer.
