Good Price for a used Mac mini?

[AppleRyan]

I know the new one is set to come out (anyday now).

But considering the Price would you go for it? I do not currently own a Mac.

$380 for the base model. (500GB)

Yes.

If its the current model then yes that's a good buy. As for a new mini the timing is all speculation, especially the "soon" part. Buy that one and if/when a new Mini comes out youncanndecide whether the upgrade is worth the cost, I suspect you can resell that one for pretty much the same money quite easily.

If that's a late 2012, it's about 150 less than current price of used or refurb. Beat to death and no packaging it would perhaps be in line. Looked at 2010 models recently and they were all well above 400. Mini's hold value.
