A MacBook Pro 14-inch M5 Pro / M5 Max (2026) in like-new shape currently prices at up to $3,400. Once the lock is cleared, the lock itself does not lower the price; condition, storage and battery do.

All of them: 1TB, 2TB, 4TB and 8TB, across M5 Pro 15-core CPU, 16-core GPU, M5 Pro 18-core CPU, 20-core GPU, M5 Max 18-core CPU, 32-core GPU and M5 Max 18-core CPU, 40-core GPU. Higher storage raises the offer in every condition. The quickest check is the About screen, under Settings on iPad and iPhone or the Apple menu on a Mac, which names the model, year and chip.
Does the MacBook Pro 14-inch M5 Pro / M5 Max (2026) have Activation Lock?
Yes. It stays tied to the owner's Apple Account until Find My is turned off or the device is removed at icloud.com/find. Signing the MacBook Pro out of its Apple Account drops it from Find My, and that is what lifts Activation Lock for the next user. Activation Lock is checked during pricing and again on the bench, so switching it off early keeps the MacBook Pro sale moving.

If anything differs you get a revised offer first and can decline it for a free return.
Do you buy carrier-locked devices?
Yes. Pick the carrier in the quote. Carrier-locked units must be paid off and free of blacklist reports, which we check by IMEI before sending a label. Activation Lock is tied to the Apple Account still signed in on the Apple device; signing out removes it and frees the device for its next owner.
