Sales start with the Retina 5K 27-inch iMac with a 3.1GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD for $1,699.93, down from $1,799.00. This model is being sold by Expercom on Amazon.

Secondly, the Retina 5K 27-inch iMac with a 3.8GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD is on sale for $2,251.88, down from $2,299.00.

If you want anything as outlandish as a 1TB SSD you'll be ordering it from Apple. Do resellers ever stock non-standard but popular "enthusiast" configurations?
They don't stock but you can still custom order directly from them, such as Expercom, B&H Photo, etc

I think the cheapest they ever were was the 2nd generation when they introduced the slot-loading drive, at $999 (which is $1566 with inflation today)
The 2000 iMac 350 MHz was $799 and then in 2004 the eMac started at $799
