Just made a little bet

[RumorConsumer]

I got a M1 Mini with 16gb and 256gb a few years ago for $100 including a 4k display and a pair of speakers. Insane deal on Craigslist in LA. Who knows. Anyways, it was just hanging out doing a few small tasks for me and I decided to sell it for $375 which I got.

I am betting this current sold out M4 Mini situation will end in a few weeks to a month with a mini refresh to M5. Then the market will be flooded and many AI Openclaw types will upgrade to M5 and the market will be flooded with M4s. This is my bet. Either way its fun.

Nice deal. I also got a good deal on an m4 mini base. Almost half price. 220 trade in plus 100 off for edu thanks to my nephew. So almost half of the 600 the m4 sells for. If the M5 starts at 600 not more as rumored because of the increase to 512gb ssd then that will be a good deal too hopefully. The m4 is holding at 290 trade in right now. Hope it stays when the m5 comes out.

I’m also thinking of putting my lightly used M4 Mac mini on eBay. Heard they’re going for nice price. If I could get $650+, I’d do it.

Hoping I can snag a 1-2TB/32-48GB config. Don't want to be forced onto Tahoe with the M5.

good thought, except I don't use Facebook (as my students say, since I'm 45 I'm too young for Facebook). I avoid anything that can potentially help out Zuck or Musk (no insta, FB, etc). So if I list, it'll be Ebay as it's the only marketplace I've used.

I don't have any currently, but as Russia cut-off itself from internet, its a good bet to move all my stuff from very expensive ($200/mo, it was paid by my bussines but its over now), unpowerful and insecure clouds to self-hosted solutions.
