Hey all!
Just saw this on eBay and I'm very interested. I've never bought anything off of eBay and was wondering what your thoughts were on these particular posts.
1 person has a loaded Mac Mini 16gb RAM, 256 SSD, etc. for just under $400.
This person also has 100% feedback.

It seems too good to be true, no?
Then there's another person with the same Mini, except with a 1TB HD, most likely the 5400 spinner, and asking $1225?!?!
Just looking for opinions and what some of you would do, or not do.
Thanks for any help!

Re: Used Mac Mini & Ebay advice
The bidding doesn't really begin until the last 20 minutes. Chances are it will go a lot higher. The price you see now isn't what you'll see in 5 days. On an item with a lot of interest, I don't bid until the last day and less. Or I'll do a high but reasonable bid based on the market for the item, which can sometimes scare others off when they don't beat a bid several times in a row.
You have to gauge the market for what the end price is most likely to be. There's a whole strategy one can develop for bidding.

It seems like that'd be the case I guess. I'll just keep a watchful eye. I could've sworn I saw the same Mini with 5 days to go, listed at $1225. So weird.
Thank you very much for your wisdom. I really appreciate it!
