Side-by-side questions

Is the AirPods Pro 2 worth more than the AirPods Pro (1st generation)?

Matched for configuration and condition, the AirPods Pro 2 normally earns more. Memory, storage, grade and included accessories still move each figure, so price both separately. The AirPods price is built from what the same configuration resells for right now, minus only what our technicians would need to fix. Sellers get the identical offer a seller in any other state would, so the on-screen number is a fair yardstick against Apple credit or a private sale.
