There are many new ones available on eBay alone. I think some vendors have stocked them from DJI in order to sell for this exact reason. Most do not include a battery. You can also find used ones.

Bad luck losing your mini. I wouldn't have thought there'd be any problem getting a replacement on Ebay or somesuch. Good luck and fly safe.

I saw a few ones on eBay but buying the drone only would cost about the same ( or a little more for a complete set)  as getting a complete set with one battery.

Typical price for a new drone by itself is about $300. That;'s $100 less than one with a battery. Last time I checked  batteries were priced at about $45. Math is our friend.

Yes, you're right with a new set. I was referring to a used drone, as I understood from the OP.

I checked eBay today and found a used Mavic Mini with one battery and some accessories and DJI Care for about $350 - $370 or something like that.

There are many new Minis on eBay at or under $300 and they come with the original waranty and are capable of having the Refresh option applied. You do not have to settle for a used one. All of the ones I linked are new. Those vendors buy in large quantities direct from DJI and get a big discount. Notice the number of them they have sold.

Ebay is probably your best bet for just the drone

At this point, with all these rumors about a Mavic Mini 2 release going around, it would be wise to keep your money in your pocket and wait to see what actually happens. If the rumors are true, prices will go down for used ones. Even maybe sell your things and batteries and get the new one will be a better option.

They might fit and work but I would be Leary, because the Voltage is different, the Current is different and the battery Type is different! I listed my complete Mini set - up on Ebay

It would be bad business from DJI if they made the batteries interchangable between them
