in General Discussion edited January 2014
I'm starting on an upgrade path from a Mini to a MBP and need to find the best way to sell the Mini. The recent Ebay auctions seem to be getting quite decent amounts for Mini 1.4s.



Any experience / suggestions?



....yes, I searched for pricing used macs, but didn't find a new post that answered me...sorry if I missed it.

    The price depends on where you're selling it - if you put an ad in the local paper you'll get less than on eBay.



    eBay is a good gage. You can also google "used macs" to find lots of commercial sellers and what they're getting.

    Definitely punt it on eBay - people seem to buy over the odds there I find. Start it with a low bid (I normally use £0.99 to generate interest), and have it on for 7 or 10 days. You'll get stacks of cash for it - I sold an iPod shuffle for the price I paid, and an iPod mini for not much less than I had paid!

    I have sold many items on ebay for more than I paid for them.

    This is my experiance also. A lot of people I know have done this as well.



    If you have a craigslist in your area you might also check there for prices.

    Hell if I know. As near as I can tell, they just get excited. I once sold a used parallel port zip drive for more than you could buy it new.
