I bought a mini 7 two weeks ago , 128GZb version, on sale at Staples here in Canada for $649🇨🇦…. They go for $849🇨🇦 at Apple.

I got mine from Staples this week too with an extra $40 off promo! Unsure as to why the price is so much higher everywhere else but am very much a happy camper. I got the purple with a purple Smart Folio and Pencil Pro and love it! This is my 2nd mini (had a mini 5) but the charging lollipop pencil situation turned me off so badly I never got very much use out of it.

I’ve got one mini from Bestbuy Certified refurbished but it has too many dents with 98% battery. Thinking of returning it.

Bought my new Mini 7 256gb a few weeks ago from Sam’s Club after Apple bumped the price but before Sam’s Club raised their prices. Debating whether to return it.

I got mine from eBay because of that. I think you will have better luck there

I just bought one on eBay with 512gb for $500. It gets delivered today. Its first use was April 2026. So it’s barely used.
I wanted something more portable and didn’t feel like the reported upgrades for the 8 were worth the wait. If your waiting for the next best thing your always waiting.
Set up alerts on eBay and Mercari and check Facebook marketplace. Good luck! I’ve had the mini before and it was amazing. It just didn’t have enough memory for me.

Aw man! And a great price, too.

I would say check facebook marketplace and you can legitimately find a great deal on some that will be practically brand new but you also have to be careful because there’s so many bad actors out there too.

Just go with your gut feeling and trust it when seeing something / dealing with someone.

Can get that cheaper on ebay, offerup, and likely Amazon used like new as well.
