I want to buy a new Canon 5DS R - majorly discounted! Anyone know how/from where?

Need and want a dedicated studio full-frame Canon DSLR camera. Searching on both eBay & Amazon for used Canon DSLR bodies and accessories where pricing now seems 'doable'. The problem is that the Shutter Counts on selected bodies are too high. This year, I expect to shoot between 25k-40k during Spring/Summer - predominantly Portraits & Landscape photography. Just need help/advice/guidance on buying a hi-res full-frame Canon 5Ds/5Ds r DSLR as a 'discontinued-item'.

Regarding image-processing I already have a fast-enough 2022 Asus i9 laptop with ample RAM/HDD to process/edit the RAW files. So, I am not at all worried about the 'output' side.

Lenses - I have looked on eBay specifically for:-
EF-L lenses, both the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM & the Canon EF 200mm L f/2.8L ii

 

Cameras:- 7Dii & (x2 40D)
EF:- 100mm f/2.8 macro, 50mm f/1.8, 24mm f/2.8
EF-s:- 55-250mm, 10-22mm, 18-55mm
Flashes:- x4 580exii, MT-24ex, Godox AD300Pro
Triggers:- x5 PW TT5s & x2 PW TT1s & x3 Godox X-Pro

Canon like most other camera manufacturers have discontinued DSLR cameras and their respective SLR lenses. In Canon's case that would be EF & EF-S lenses. Your money will be better spent on a Canon EOS R Series camera. Then who knows how long Canon will continue to support legacy equipment.
