The trade-in values tend to be reasonable for off-the-shelf configurations (and especially base configurations). Not great, but reasonable. It’s when you start stacking build-to-order options that the price grows much faster than the trade-in value.
- brundolf 4y agoYeah that makes sense too
- matwood 4y agoExactly. The BTO options are basically zeroed out for the trade in. If you're someone who plans to upgrade their machine frequently using the trade-in, go with one of the primary configurations.
- carlmr 4y agoOne of the issues is also that there's usually no good way to search for exact configurations when looking for traded in machines. Meaning that it's harder to convey the value to the end customer.
- harvey9 4y agoThe search seems like an easy problem to solve. A set of options to select when you offer up a machine for trade is viable for any self built system. For Apple, they could just link your original purchase data so could be even easier.
