Who actually pays well for good-condition used computers these days? I have a 2019 MacBook Pro that could serve somebody well in a second life. I mean like companies, not some sketchy craigslist trade where somebody just tries to rob me of it. Last time I sold a laptop on Ebay, it ended up at some freight forwarders address with the recipient claiming they didn't get it. Thankfully Ebay sided with me then, but still, no telling if they will in the future.
I don't want to give it up for $200 or whatever Apple is offering, for that lowball offer, I'll just keep the laptop to travel with.
- yieldcrv 4y agoI paid for an M1 when it came out because I wanted that specific technology combination.
- cwhatididtheir 4y agoFacebook marketplace is great for selling used Apple products. The social identity aspect makes identifying potential scammers easy. You’ll still get blasted by a dozen or so of these, but they’re really obvious… New accounts with no friends for example. I’ve been surprised what people will pay for used laptops and other apple tech.
- kelchm 4y agoI guess the risk involved isn't substantially different from eBay, but I've had pretty good luck selling Apple hardware and phones via Swappa: https://swappa.com https://swappa.com

- grecy 4y agoI always buy used Mac laptops. I'm typing this on a 2014 MBP I bought used in 2019, and is still going strong. I want to edit 4k video, so in the next 12 months I'll most likely upgrade to a used M1 or M2 MBP or air.
