You can get a used M1 mini for more or less 400€. Get a glimpse of whats going on in your local facebook marketplace, most likely you'll come up with nice offers.

I'm guessing that's for a model with 8G memory?

In my experience the experience for those is quite bad, as you're sharing that 8G across both the CPU and GPU...

Judging from the OP's post of 2.3k€, they're probably considering a maxed out version, which has a completely different experience since you can fully take advantage of the high memory bandwidth for hybrid tasks unlike the low-memory models where you're sharing the limited capacity.

You must be kidding right? Who on earth would sell for 400?

Literally the first result on (US) eBay is for 419 euros with "more than 10 available"

The Mac mini M1 was on sale new for $400 at Costco a couple weeks ago. The M2 Mac mini is $499 on the Apple education store.
