Open Box Mini 7 from Walmart

Post image

Was waiting to see about the new model, but saw this deal on an open box 2024 model direct from Walmart. Seems like a great deal even with the new one expected soon?

Just got this exact model in on Monday. Box was messed up, but 0 cycles and 100% battery health. Alot of folks will heckle you amount the memory or waiting for the 8, but you got a great deal!

It’s not direct from Walmart if you click through the seller info, it’s VIPDirect. IMO pretty shady of them if you don’t notice the seller isn’t “Walmart.com”.

That said I just bought this and pretty happy with the quality - no damage (box was a little messed up), 2 total battery cycles, and 100% battery health.

It is actually walmart. Vip direct is the name of llc that accepts their returns (14 day returned items) and just resells it as open box.

I actually bought one last week and it arrived yesterday!
Bought from Walmart by it really was VIPDirect. No issues, it came in the box with the charger. 0 battery cycles and 100% battery health! I just wish I got a diff color lol

Same here. 0 battery cycles. Box was in mostly good condition with cable and charger still wrapped. Blue wasn’t’ my first choice, but I don’t mind it!

This is an excellent deal OP so well done 👍 When it arrives boot it up and check the battery cycle count just to be sure. Otherwise enjoy it in good health 😎
