Questions about selling a damaged MacBook
How much is a damaged MacBook worth?
Less than a clean one, but often more than people expect, because parts and repairable units still have resale value. Mark the damage in the quote to see the figure for your exact MacBook. The MacBook price is built from what the same configuration resells for right now, minus only what our technicians would need to fix.
Do you buy a broken MacBook that will not turn on?
No. A MacBook has to power on so it can be tested and erased. If it charges but shows nothing, email us the model for a manual review. Scratches and scuffs adjust the MacBook price without ruling out a working device. If testing shows something different, we explain it, and you choose between a revised offer and a free return of the MacBook.
Should I repair my damaged MacBook before selling?
Rarely. A repair often costs more than it adds to the offer. Price it as it is first, then compare with a repair quote. Cosmetic wear reduces the MacBook price but never disqualifies a working unit, and the quote asks about it so the number holds at testing. Should our test bench see something your answers didn't mention, you receive the reason and a revised figure, and you're free to say no and get the device back.
How do I get paid when I sell my damaged MacBook?
Choose PayPal, Zelle or Bank transfer (ACH) when you accept the offer. After the MacBook arrives and passes testing, payment is sent within 2 business days after your device passes inspection. If testing finds something different, you get a revised offer first and can decline it for a free return.
Is shipping free when I sell a damaged MacBook?
Yes. Every accepted quote gets a free prepaid, trackable shipping label by email. Pack the MacBook with padding on all sides and drop it with the carrier. Accepting the offer triggers an email with a prepaid, tracked label, so the MacBook travels from anywhere in the U.S. without you paying a cent in postage.
