WTF is wrong with Mac fags?? I need to buy a fucking Mac to be able to publish to the apple store. Went online and the cheapest Mac shit I can buy is a Mac mini for $599 >1.4GHz Processor >500 GB Storage >1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 >4GB memory >500GB hard drive1 >Intel HD Graphics 5000
Holly shit the fucking specs man! So I went on kijiji/craigslist for a used one, and there are billions of Mac fags trying to sell their retarded Mac mini with a Core 2 duo (2009) for $500. Mostly all of them are almost as expensive as a brand new one.
Explain to me this shit, do Mac fag believe their shit gets value with time like a Ferrari?? WTF is going on?
It doesn't matter what they're worth parts wise, people still pay those ridiculous prices so they barely drop in value.
Adam Taylor
It's a fashion object like expensive shoes. They retain their value (fashion value, not intrinsic value).
Owen Perez
Mac mini is not a fashion object you dingus. It's so expensive because it is still the cheapest way of running MacOS. Pajeets buy those to publish to AppStore which makes them in high demand.

Joseph Hughes
stop buying brand new, faggot
Jonathan Baker
Hackintosh
Michael Cruz
the little thing is deceptively powerful, I have run one before and it was pretty comfy, the specs make it seem like it would be shitbox slow but it's not
I would get this and upgrade the ram before buying a mini, you get a screen and laptop functionality plus the newest OS plus the ability to run an external monitor
That's two alliteration s behind. Apple software update to slow old devices down is in effect.
Gavin Mitchell
You reek of poorness.
Ryder Turner
isnt a 2tb ssd on its own worth like $900? I mean its a rip off, no question, but the retard/mac tax(100-120%) isnt anything surprising compared to other macs, like a Core Duo one selling for $350...
Landon Gomez
that's the whole point you retard
Noah Wilson
>not walking around downtown with your mac mini in hand why live?
Angel Young
UNIX workstations have always been expensive, newb. Before the apple tax there was the Sun and HP tax.
John Bell
I was talking about Macs, not phones. Old iPhones are still expensive for what they are though considering most have a shitty battery after 2 years.
Kevin Peterson
this is about prices of mac new vs used you dipshit
Jordan Myers
>I need to buy a fucking Mac to be able to publish to the apple store. You also need Windows to publish apps for the Windows Phone.
So you don't need Windows.
Ian Collins
This is basic supply and demand, you moron.
Apple devices are expensive from the get-go, when they're sold on the used market people are willing to pay high prices for them because even older Apple devices tend to work quite well, primarily for specialized tasks.
You are not some unique outsider who has stumbled upon some technological anomaly and only you can see how silly it it, as you seem to think you are. You've simply stumbled upon an incident of supply and demand within a used market.
So stop being a faggot and go somewhere else.

>he didn't know about used Sun hardware before the 2000 dot com bubble.
Are you too young to post here?

Oh boy look at that retard trying to defend used electronics the same price as a brand new one Just kill you are self you mac faggot
Juan Hernandez
>he's trying to make a point by mentioning used electronics of another brand from more than 20 years ago W E W
Adrian Sanders
>do Mac fag believe their shit gets value with time like a Ferrari?? >WTF is going on? You're a dumbass, that's what's going on. People sell their shit for as much money as they can get - you would do the same.
Jeremiah Rodriguez
>people selling their shit !== people sold their shit you are the retard
Xavier Ward
>bla bla semantics bla You're pretty dimwitted for a guy who's calling other people "retard". The implication is obviously that people adjust their selling price according to the market - and Mac are known for their exceptionally good resale value. Apple doesn't lower their prices until the next model is out, *no matter what*, so it's should come as no surprise to anyone except the dumbest of dumbasses that MacMinis are (comparetively speaking) expensive as fuck - I mean, the hardware is three years old, even in a best-case scenario. And for an even crazier example just look at the MacPro - it's mind-boggingly overpriced and practically dead for years yet the price is still the same as on day one.
Xavier Cook
It's pretty fucking defensible, people can sell shit for whatever price they want to retard. If you don't like it, bitch more.
Prices only stay that high when people buy it, if no one bought it, the price would come down.
I'm sorry you're retarded, don't let that get you down though.
Isaiah Parker
let them waste their money
and then just laugh at their face as soon as they tell you they are a mac user
Lincoln Brown
Why buy Apple products if you're poor in the first place?
Luis Campbell
>be me >contact craigslist seller of mac product >He says OK. I ask for a meeting time because of hour drive >Then he says "Oh I am too busy to sell anything to you desu." wtf now I hate macfags
Jackson Gray
>be me again >select nice mbp from ebay because no dents >It shows up in mail with huge dents because macfag seller used flimsy shitty box >notify seller, they want full set of photos and documentation >they only give me 10% refund Fuck all mac resellers, I swear to god
Aiden Phillips
Did you try contacting eBay? They pretty much always side with the buyer on disputes like this.
Jaxson Powell
Can't you do it with a hakintosh? I'm pretty sure I've seen a $250 hakintosh online.
Jonathan Reed
You could have easily gotten all your money back, but you're a retard. Contact Ebay or PayPal if it wasn't long ago, or do a charge back with your bank.
Hunter Taylor
>I need to buy a fucking Mac to be able to publish to the apple store. this, t dev it's absolutly insane that you can't get emu or do anything without geniue last update osx.
Olso, why can't you ask a friend to lend you one? I am social award autist but the borrowed from female friend just to compile and sign
Logan King
Ebay. Buy the cheapest mac running the latest version of OSX possible. Call it a day. Nuke the thing and turn it into a simple HTPC for non-4K video when you stop needing it.
Carson Johnson
>Trying to publish to app store >Whines/cry/complain/slitswrists because Mac is too expensive
You're a fucking joke of a developer. Put your big boy pants on suck it up because those are people using your product.
Also, a 4 second eBay search showed me used macs < $100.
Jonathan Cooper
All my friends are PC guys, that's why they are my friends. Mac fags are unbearable.

>he doesn't know that you can't install never versions of XCODE on old Macs Mac fags are a joke they don't even know their shit
Ethan Harris
Reeking of poorness is being tech illiterate in 2017 and only buying appel because you're not educated to know any better
Ryder Nguyen
Apple makes their shitty hardware redundant for developers after a couple years. To publish to IOS you need a new Mac, honestly I just wouldn't bother OP. Make an android app and a mobile site. IOS fags are used to it.
Jonathan Cook
That's exactly where I'm at. I need a new mac to install the latest xcode to be compatible with my shit and I will have to pay $99 on top for a developer account. Meanwhile I pay $25 for Google/Android and can publish in seconds from any machine, even old as fuck. I'm still inclined to go that route because I know I can make good money off of retarded mac fags from mobile apps. But as it turns out, Mac fags are poor as shit if they try to sell their used obsolete hardware for the price of a brand new unit...
Levi Johnson
Buy then resell maybe?
Joshua Davis
Nah I will need to update my apps and republish once on a while...
Liam Collins

Xcode can run on any macbook running 10.11 or later. You can install 10.11 on macs made since 2007. >Hates on people who use mac and cant even use google
Chase Bailey
MacOS is literally a fashion object. It's no more useful than stock Ubuntu, yet you have to pay hundreds of dollars for special hardware to run it.
>32GB I have flash drives bigger than that.
>PCs and Macs Macs are PCs though.
>implying conspicuous consumption is a good thing
Jaxon King
Hackintosh it. You don't need Apple hardware, just Apple software.
Leo Stewart
Nobody wants to use Apple software, not even Apple.
Not even switched it on in 6 months. Was going to just use it as a Plex server but seeing how much macmorons are willing to pay for these I might just sell it.
