OK, so I erased my mac mini per instructions I was given herein the communities. Now, I'm about to sell it but when I turned it on all I get is a flashing folder with a question mark. What do I do now?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Then all you need to do is reinstall macOS.

Shut down and let the new owner turn it on and set it up using their Apple ID.
