Do a search on eBay on closed items for the Mac mini.  See what others like yours have been going for.  You could always list it with a reserve price.  If it didn't sell, at worst you'd be out a few bucks.  At least you could be sure that you wouldn't sell it for less than you wanted.

I tried, I don't see any option for searching closed items... :no:

Put a check next to "completed listings only" in Advanced search. That will only return closed items.

Here's a link to a search for completed Mac minis, sorted highest price first:Completed Mac minis on eBay

From the looks of it, good luck trying to get $1200 (although most of these look to be stock 1.25Ghz machines).

i didnt feel like reading all 9 pages but.. kevin rose from the screensavers

already moded his... he installed a new 100 gig 2.5in 5400 rpm a labtop HD

and updated the ram to 1 gig of DRAM 333 pc2700 btw...The mini uses PC2700. You can put PC3200 in it, but it will only run at PC2700 speeds.

so to answer both questions YES AND YES

why did you buy it if you're just going to sell it?

I put money down on my mac mini at the mac store today.  should be getting a call soon for when some new ones come in, cause they only got 8 in on saturday.

Because as I said I am a bit short on cash now (unexpectedly) and if I can make a $200 profit off of it I don't mind waiting a month or so until I can get another. :p

Thinking about getting one and connecting it to the plasma in my living room, only dont know how im going to control it.

Anyone seen a bluetooth/wireless keyboard with a touchpad on it?

Is there a PVR solution for the mac?

I haven't seen a Bluetooth keyboard with a built in touchpad, but I have seen infrared ones with a small trackball built in. They are usually PS/2 based, but a USB to PS/2 adapter will solve that issue.

Was hoping to use bluetooth as the mini only has 2 usb ports, was thinking one for a tv tuner and one for an external drive. Didn't want to have a usb hub and all the cables hanging around

Then use the FireWire port for the external drive. You'd get better transfer rates anyway. Bluetooth wouldn't work all that well from across the room anyway (depending on the size of the room), as the range is kind of limited. Even if you did have to use a hub, I've seen some really tiny ones, usually sold for laptops.

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
