I had planned on getting a Mac mini in the next few weeks, but then the new Intel-based mini was released this week, so the PowerPC-based models are not being sold by Apple any longer (unless they have a few in the refurbished area of their Web store). I don't want one of the new Intel-based Macs just yet, and don't want to pay the premium price on the new mini either.
I was wondering about everyone's thoughts on the prices that we'll start seeing in the next week or so for PowerPC-based minis on eBay. I know that the iPod mini went up in price when the nano was announced, but that was simply because people liked the iPod mini, and it was being discontinued. With the Mac mini being upgraded (not discontinued) to Intel, and getting a major performance boost, will the PowerPC Mac mini drop in price on eBay? If I see something on there now in the $350-$450 range, should I jump on it, or wait a week or two and hope that something more like $300-$350 pops up?
