Need advice buying a Mac for Flutter App Store publishing
I have a Flutter app already published on Google Play, and now I want to publish it on the App Store as well.
Because of that, I decided to buy a Mac, but Apple devices are extremely overpriced in my country (Egypt), so currently I have 3 options:
* Mac Mini M2 used from a local store (2023, 256GB, 8GB) for $370
* MacBook Neo Education from Apple (2026, 256GB, 8GB) for $630
* Mac Mini M4 used from eBay (2024, 256GB, 16GB) for $530
The problem is that this would be my first time buying from eBay, so I’m a bit worried.
What would you personally choose in my situation?
Also, is it common or safe to ask someone traveling from the US or Europe to buy the device for me and bring it when visiting Egypt, then I pay them here?
I mainly need the device for Flutter/iOS builds, Xcode, and App Store publishing.
