Probably a bit, especially if it only has a 1.66 CPU in it.

I can get a new 1.8 C2D for that price, shipped. I'd have gone for $500, maybe even $450.

Ya, 3rd party RAM is still cheap.

Yeah the price is way to high. I just got a new 1.83GHZ C2D mini for $580 from apple and added 2GB ram myself for $50. I would drop the price at least $200.

The new 1.83 also does not come with a Superdrive. For me that is Manditory. His 1.66 was the TOP Mini when he bought it so has the Superdrive. I think $600 is a bit high also but if I was not flat broke I would give him $550 for it as it sits. I could use a new Mini to replace my G4 Mini that basically got ripped off by someone from me. I WILL get it back but in the mean time....

I dropped the price $50.

It just makes me sad knowing I paid like $1200 for it, and it still works great, and I have to sell it for less than half its price.
