My local Best Buy had an open box 2012 Mac Mini MD387LL/A for $518.99. It had the box and all, but did not have the HDMI-DVI cable in it. I have a thunderbolt to DVI cable already so not a big deal. Is that still a decent price for it? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

I'd say that's pretty good for a newly released machine. See if you can talk them down to $500 due to the missing cable.
this and check for the return policy
They had another with the cable for $549. I asked and they wouldn't budge from the $519. I wound up going with it without the cable since really I don't need it.
I get 60 days to return it too if I need to since I'm BB RZ Silver status. I'll probably connect it tonight or tomorrow.

I also grabbed an Intel 520 series 180 GB SSD for it. $129.99 a decent price?

On that drive, yes. But there are better deals to be found today. Regardless, you should be satisfied.
I've been too late on all the deals I saw pop up. All the great deals on SSD seem to be sold out.
I love BestBuy open boxes. I bought a 2T Time Capsule for 206.00, Brand new, still wrapped in plastic.
Great buy on that mac mini. I was looking for the same too.
