Blue Ipod mini for sale
Has never actually been used by me. I have 7.5 gigs of music on my computer so I'm thinking about just getting a 15gb model even though I love the mini's design. I put a few songs on it just to listen to sound quality and play with the menu but the unit has been restored to factory settings.
It comes with all accessories (earbuds, firewire/usb cord, adapter, belt buckle thingie), CD, instruction manual and a marware case.
The price is ::drum roll:: $285 shipped.

Does that mean you would be interested?
That price is WAY too high. Amazon sells it for $230 with free shipping. You're gonna have a hard time selling it for much more than 250. 250 and shipping is reasonable.

Dr MCAT, fyi, the ipod mini units are sold out on amazon.com in all colors. Whats more, they're operating on a first come first serve basis which means you have to wait in line to receive units as they become available which means if you want to order an ipod mini from amazon.com, you may very well end up waiting weeks and weeks to receive it.
On the other hand, it cost $270 with tax to pick up a mini from any apple retailer. I am including everything the unit comes with plus a marware case for $15 extra... Considering the fact that minis are selling on ebay for $300 and up, I don't think it is foolish of me to ask for $285.
In any case, it looks like I will just list this on ebay.

MCAT!!! If you're not interested in buying don't post. How would you like it if you were selling something, and someone ruined your sale by saying it's a rip off. Have some courtesy for the guy.

Personally im with Berge_06 on this, its simply capitalism, i live in the UK and have paid $350, $330 and $310 for ipod mini's, if someone is willing to pay over the odds, whats the problem. No doubt you have a copy of windows, may would argue microsoft just sell the same product again and again for $150+ yet nobody complains. This is the 21st Century, live with it!

Exactly!! Bill gates manufacturs the windows cd's for costs around 2 dollars. Yes, there are the expenses of developing it, and shipping it but once he sells enough all of it's profit. Saying that, when you're buying a windows cd you are paying anywhere from $100-250 for a disk that costs 2 dollars. You still see people buying it. Why?? Because it's a good product. The exact can be said with the minis. They are great, and people are willing to pay more than retail for them in a time of short supply.
