Post by: iMav on Tue, 25 November 2008, 19:05:36

Did someone here snag this beauty?  

Check it (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&item=290276406093).

(not a bad price)

great price. Of course if I had bid it would have gone up to $200. (murphy's law).

Sad to say, I paid more for the 2 I got off of ebay.

Not too long ago I got two from the same seller for around $35 a piece.  The listing was poorly categorized, and the seller didn't realized what he had.  The "perfect storm" I guess.

Situations like that don't happen too often. At least from where I am at. The model m mini seems to be very desireable and the prices reflect it.
At least it used to. The last one on ebay went for 50 some odd dollars which is really a good price. When I was looking to buy a mini the prices were closet to 100 dollars. I suppose its timing and how much the other guy is willing to spend.

This one was missing the logo. I suspect many would wait for a complete version.

I noticed the logo wasn't there either, but it still was a model m though, right?
