I really dont print much and don’t want to spend much money. What is a better alternative besides bambulab

Yeah that’s a good deal if the small print bed is what you are needing. Just make sure you buy from a reputable seller.
Unfortunately the guy never responded on marketplace
If it works, it’s a superb deal. And the print area will probably cover 80% of everything you might ever print.
Edit: Print quality is more about your ability to tune your printer, no matter the brand, then it is about the printer brand itself.
As someone that has one, I’d say more than 80%. That might be accurate if you only print other peoples’ designs, but for functional parts I’ve designed, 80% are a total non-issue, 10% need to be rotated 45 degrees on the build plate, 5% need minor redesign to fit, and the rest I was able to break into multiple prints without issue.
Even if you eventually need a bigger printer, I’d still buy this one. I’ve definitely run into situations where I need to print multiples more often than I’ve wanted to print something big.
Yeah, it could be possible to only ever need the mini and 80% is perhaps conservative. But, I as much as I find my Bambu Mini can cover the majority of my printing needs these days, I still need the print volume my Prusa Mk3s has for a very good number of practical prints I design and print. The real world often demands real world size and hates pieced together part designs lack of strength. And I still often need to resort to my metal working shop with lathe, mill, drill press and welders to make serious parts because plastic just ain’t it.
That’s apparently a $400+ printer new, so yes, I’d say $100 for it is a good deal.
That said, Prusas in general have always been too rich for my blood; my idea of a “good” printer is a Creality Ender 3 V3 SE that I got as an open-box for $150. I’d probably still take that over a Prusa Mini because the print volume is bigger, but the low price you found would definitely get me considering the smaller printer.
Yes
@elcroqueta It is quite a good deal.
And a good printer also.
