You'll be looking for a while, looks like they're going for $600-700 used currently. You can get a used M1 Mac Mini for around $350 though. Macs don't depreciate nearly as quickly as PCs do.
- AnotherGoodName 5d agoThe M6 and M5 haven’t shipped tet, just preorder stage so they’ll come down once the nee one’s land. A good proxy is the M2 mini dropping to ~$250 after the M4 hit. Eg. https://uptradeit.com/buy-used-refurbished-mac-mini-2024-silver https://uptradeit.com/buy-used-refurbished-mac-mini-2024-sil... ($269) I’m hopeful for even lower than $300 prices just because there’s a lot of homelab people spending a lot on these and the M5 ultra really does make the M4 not worth using for that use case. So there should be a flood shortly hopefully.
- happyopossum 5d ago> A good proxy is the M2 mini dropping to ~$250 after the M4 hit. That's really not a good proxy, as the base price of EVERYTHING was way lower in 2024. Heck, that M2 mini you're referring to is selling for more than $250 today. The link you're sharing is a scam - the $269 "2024 M2" takes you to a $269 2014 Intel Core i5 turd.
- mahboi 5d ago$269 doesn't even buy you an M1
- jolan 5d agoYou seem to just be extrapolating based on old information and bad comparisons. Click through the $269 link. The M2 listing redirects to an Intel Mac mini model. Apple trade-in value is currently $565 for the base 16GB/256GB M4 mini. (up from $480 a couple weeks ago) https://i.imgur.com/9qgKSZd.png https://i.imgur.com/9qgKSZd.png I paid $500 for it. Why would I sell it to you for $300?
