adrynalyne Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I'm not gonna let everything I've built up fly. 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. You are probably better off with trading it + cash if you can find a deal.

You are selling the low end mac mini with the dual core i5. The higher end quad core i7 has a better resale value.

Astra.Xtreme Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Mac-Mini-MC816LL-A-2-5-i5-16GB-RAM-Samsung-830-128GB-SSD-TOS-500GB-HDD-/291001961888?pt=Apple_Desktops&hash=item43c1118da0 This guy is asking $800 for just the Mini, which is pretty close to what you have. No takers on his price, so I'd assume it would realistically sell for $700 at most. Since yous is a year newer, maybe you could get $750 for yours. A keyboard and mouse is a hard sell since wear and tear happens pretty quickly with a lot of use. Going by what I'm seeing on Ebay, I'd value those together at around $50. Webcams are also hit or miss whether people care of not. Maybe $40 value on it. The hard part is valuing the monitor. Yeah it's probably worth around $350, but you can find 27" IPS monitors for much less than that. For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824146077 So I don't know, value it at $250 at most. Add that all up and it's in the $1000-1200 range. Also keep in mind that when you bundle things together, you generally get a lower price since you'll have less an audience interesting in every one of those parts. The maximize profit, you may want to sell things separately. As a package, I'd also agree that $1000 is probably the absolute best you'll get. fusi0n and hackdoom 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#Michael Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I SAID 2013 and do you see the price of the 16GB RAM? Nevertheless the additional SSD? Don't ever buy upgraded ram or ssd direct from apple. Why do you think I put in the links for amazon. HD and ram are two easy user serviceable parts on the mini. Take the advice or don't...makes no difference to me. But $1.5K is way too much. Think of it as buying a car....the moment you drive off of the dealers lot the car loses 30% of its value. After that it loses 5% of its value for each year you own it. The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusi0n Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Last time I asked for help, I got cut off. You asked us for an opinion on how much we feel your stuff is worth. Then, you argue about it . Honestly, if someone is going to spend $1500, they are not going to buy a Mac Mini, they are going to by the iMac or Macbook pro.

+Warwagon MVC Posted November 21, 2013 MVC Share Posted November 21, 2013 There was someone on our local facebook swap recently selling their 6 month old Nexus 7 (2012 model) for $200.... they actually got a bite.

Atomic Wanderer Chicken Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 You can ask whatever you want because its a free market, but you may or may not get what you're asking for. I could ask $1000 for my IBM PC 300GL computer complete with a vintage CRT and say its a rare vintage computer and there's nothing else like it, but I probably wont get any people interested. I strongly recommend looking at ebay to see what comparable configurations have sold for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadrack Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 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. Exactly. Used and Like New =/= New. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firey Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 So I guess the verdict here.. is that you are the only one that thinks it is a sweet deal. adrynalyne, fusi0n and The Evil Overlord 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Sorry dude, but if equivalent or comparable models of similar age and spec aren't selling for that, then yours probably isn't going to neither. I see listings on ebay all the time for items that are way overpriced for used, I've never seen them getting any interest in bids. Another way to look at this would be, if someone else came to you with the same deal, but wanted close to, or exactly retail value of something you knew you can get identical in almost every way, cheaper somewhere else, would you take him up on his offer? fusi0n 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
