been shopping on ebay, and see them priced in the $250-$500 range. is this reasonable, or is there an added "tax" because they are special.
 
For me buying a preowned 13 mini, I got mine from Amazon renewed. You can get excellent condition or spend a little more and get the renewed Premium for one with battery health of 90% or greater. Then just be patient for the right one to come by . . .

The one I got looks pristine however the battery health on mine is at 81%. I purchased mine as “renewed” only which guarantees battery health of 80% or greater. I have got the equipment and new battery to do the install on my iPhone when the time comes.
 
Personally, I would rather get a phone with a weak battery that's never been cracked open over one with a 100% battery of unknown provenance.
