MacBook models, sizes and storage
Chip, memory and storage are the bigger levers on price. You'll find your configuration under the Apple menu, then About This Mac.
Capacities vary by configuration. Cycle count and memory both factor into the offer, and a cracked lid or a battery that needs replacing is still worth a call. Bring the charger if you still have it.
How condition changes the offer
Describing your MacBook accurately on the call is what keeps the quoted price and the paid price the same. These are the four bands we work in.
Like new
No scratches worth mentioning, display and chassis clean, a low cycle count, everything working. This is where the top of the range applies.
Good
Light wear from normal use, no cracks, keyboard and trackpad sound, battery in normal condition. A small deduction from the top figure.
Fair
Visible scratches, scuffs or a dent, display intact, a high cycle count or a battery flagged for service. A larger deduction, but still a solid cash offer.
Damaged
Cracked display, a damaged keyboard, liquid damage, or it won't power on at all. Still worth money for parts or repair, and still worth a call.
What we check when we meet
The inspection takes a couple of minutes. Nothing here is a surprise if you described the MacBook accurately on the call.
Model and configuration
Confirmed against what you described, from the Apple menu, About This Mac.
Display and chassis
A look at the display, lid, chassis, keyboard and trackpad for damage.
Battery and cycle count
Battery condition under System Settings, Battery, and the cycle count in System Information.
iCloud and Find My Mac
Signed out and Find My Mac switched off — a Mac still tied to your Apple ID can't be resold.
Activation status
A check that the device is not reported lost or stolen and has a clean activation lock status.
Cash now, or the other options
Selling your MacBook for cash locally is not the only route. It is the fastest one, and the only one that hands you money the same day.
Apple trade-in
Paid as store credit or a gift card rather than cash, and only for devices in working condition.
Mail-in buyback sites
You ship the device, wait for their inspection, and the quoted figure can be revised downward before any money reaches you.
Marketplace listings
The ceiling can be higher, but you handle the strangers, the no-shows, the payment fraud and the returns yourself.
With us it's a number over the phone, a meet at your place or somewhere public, and cash in hand once the MacBook matches the description. No shipping, no waiting, no credit.
