Post by: DCurry on February 15, 2011, 05:32:28 PM
Looking for a used Intel Mac Mini if anyone is selling one, preferably no more than $425.

I try to stay away from eBay anymore. They left a bad taste in my mouth when they tried to force me to accept PayPal because I hadn't sold anything for a year. I actually didn't mind accepting PayPal, but they said that if you accept PayPal you can't put any restrictions on the transaction type, which meant that I'd have to accept credit card payments. Of course if you want to accept credit cards via PayPal, they make you sign up for the Premier level and PayPal takes a percentage of the transaction. Again, no problem with that, but I found out the hard way that they also take a percentage of the non-credit card transactions as well (like instant transfers, which are free with the basic PayPal plan).

Gnub, while the fact that you've never bought nor sold anything is somewhat shocking, I can top you: I am not on Facebook.

I can bet that not only has she never bought or sold anything on eBay but that she is not on Facebook as well. Or Twitter. Doesn't own a cell phone and has enough nuts stored to last for the next 10 (nuclear) winters.

Nice swoop, Dan!

I was hanging out  http://www.123macmini.com/forums/index.php (http://www.123macmini.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=64)  for a while, when I thought I was getting 2 Minis for production. I was...   :steamroller: ....you may find some useful info there. They are Mini nuts on there...   :laugh:

G_Town can tell you all about dominant squirrels in the dream he had. I guess the lesson is watch out for the gray ones.

The white albinos are scary but are so rare you shouldn't really worry about them.

The city of Olney, Illinois has white squirrels in their city park. They are famous for it. I grew up about 20 miles from there. Google it.

There was a famous story about the white squirrels on the OSU campus (Ohio) near where I used to live. It was uncanny.

Personally, I have never seen a white squirrel in real life. They just act on my behalf.
