Some people here are complaining about the trade in value, but Microsoft's quote for my 2011 Macbook Pro was pretty close to what I could get for it on eBay. However, I would not expect the resale value on any Surface product to be very good at all. One of the nice things about owning Apple products is that you only pay full price for the first one -- when you replace it, you can trade in or sell the one you have for a lot more money than any non-Apple product of a similar age.
