How much is a used MacBook worth?
Pick the grade that matches what you see at arm's length in daylight. Most used MacBooks land in Good or Fair, and both still earn solid offers.
| Grade | What it means for your MacBook |
|---|---|
| Like New | No scratches, dents or shiny keys; it could pass for new. |
| Good Typical | Light wear seen only up close; no dents. |
| Fair Typical | Noticeable scratches, scuffs, worn key caps or one small dent. |
| Poor | Heavy wear, deep scratches or several dents, with everything working. |
| Damaged | A bent or cracked case or a loose hinge, but it boots and works. |

Questions about selling a used MacBook
How much can I get for my used MacBook?
It depends on the model, storage, grade and battery. The quote on this page shows the exact figure for your used MacBook in about a minute, and the price is honored when the device matches your answers. Each MacBook estimate draws on this month's resale data for that configuration, and your condition answers refine it before anything is shipped.
Is selling a used MacBook better than trading it in?
Usually. A trade-in often pays in store credit, while a cash sale pays by PayPal, Zelle or Bank transfer (ACH). Compare both figures before deciding; the quote here is free and creates no obligation. Selling a MacBook here takes three moves: price it online, mail it on our prepaid label, and receive payment once it passes testing.
Do I need the box to sell my used MacBook?
No. The box is optional and barely changes the price. Pack the MacBook securely in any sturdy box with padding on all sides. The label lands in your inbox within minutes of accepting, and its tracking shows when the MacBook reaches us. Pick a strong box with padding around the MacBook; an email confirms the moment it is delivered.
How do I get paid when I sell my used 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 used 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.
