What would help you fetch top dollar is pictures and lots of them. And the box, etc. But if it's gone, it's gone.

So I'm guessing this would be a good time to list the Mini, especially if it's in pretty good condition.
I'll definitely provide pictures. I always do. I'm surprised so many auctions complete on eBay just with the default pic. I wouldn't trust an auction like that.

So no box and cables, which I know hurts things. I wouldn't even know where to begin to find them. Also, I erred on the side of caution regarding firmware upgrades, but wondered if maybe Minis worked like iPhones. People pay a bigger premium for jailbroken iPhones.

Okeh, great! I'll find the flea market here and try it out. $189 is an awesome price, but it's not a realistic one. Unless there's a collectable aspect to the Minis now. Anyways, thanks everyone for your feedback!!
