firey Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 If you were to buy this all BRAND NEW it would be about 1500$ (CAD) + tax. So all you are saving is the tax (which granted is 200$ CAD). Personally I think that is a bit high especially considering the Mini is a year old, and all your peripherals are used. But that's just my opinion. fusi0n, SoCalRox, hackdoom and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titoist Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I would price it at about $900-1000. fusi0n and SoCalRox 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Wanderer Chicken Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 You should look at eBay to see what similar Macs are selling for. The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firey Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I would price it at about $900-1000. That's around what I was thinking. Maximum of 1200$ (Depending on how new the parts are). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.XXIV Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Everything here is new actually..except the Mac itself. I've upgraded the RAM and added the SSD 6 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrynalyne Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I'd say 1200 max, IF it was an i7. I'd go with 1000 max with i5. The Evil Overlord, fusi0n and SoCalRox 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter, its out of the box and you set it up. its used. PC parts automatically drop 40-50% when out of the box.

+Warwagon MVC Posted November 21, 2013 MVC Share Posted November 21, 2013 Everything here is new actually..except the Mac itself. I've upgraded the RAM and added the SSD 6 months ago. I never buy anything used / second hand when the price is so close to retail. Personally I only steel things used 1/2 retail, believe me I have :D Galaxy S3 (Like brand new) / used eBay $288 free shipping... at the time out of contact new it retailed for $630.

hackdoom Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Overpriced, to be honest. Also, I think buyers wouldn't really care about the accessories?even if they are decently priced into the package?as those are often seen as 'throw-ins' in big purchases. fusi0n 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firey Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Everything here is new actually..except the Mac itself. I've upgraded the RAM and added the SSD 6 months ago. Thing is though. You can get 128GB SSDs for 85$ on TigerDirect brand new in box never used. Ram can be done right through the apple store. With computers unless you are building to sell, you never get close to what you put into it (just like vehicles). I think you are about 500$ over-priced.

Mr.XXIV Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 The monitor itself is $350, the keyboard is $70, the mouse is $30, and the RAM + SSD was $150. Are you sure I'm not including tax or shipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure I'm not including tax or shipping? Mark those down about 50% for being used. Mini will have no warranty and is what, a year old? Mac is 600 + tax new and that would come with Haswell and a warranty. I'd say at 1k, you might even be selling a bit high, but you can probably get that. 1500 is too high.

I think your expectations are ridiculous. This isn't a high end Mac you are selling, and is not going to hold its value like one either.

You might find a sucker that doesn't understand value, but for those that do, your current price isn't going to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can get hooked up with a decent trade, then fine. But can do so much without a worry, and I'm not letting treat it like it isn't much.
