You want to know what your MacBook is worth. Not a vague range — an actual number you can count on. Here's how to find it in under two minutes.
Step 1: Find Your Exact Model
Click the Apple menu (top left corner) → About This Mac. You'll see something like:
"MacBook Pro (14-inch, Nov 2023)" with "Apple M3 Pro" chip, "18 GB" memory, and your storage size.
If your Mac doesn't turn on, flip it over. The model number is printed in small text on the bottom case (e.g., A2779, A2941). You can look up Apple model numbers online to find the marketing name.
Step 2: Note Your Specs
Three specs affect value beyond the model year:
Chip/Processor: M3 Max > M3 Pro > M3 > M2 > M1 > Intel. Apple Silicon Macs hold value dramatically better than Intel Macs.
Storage: 1TB > 512GB > 256GB. Higher storage adds $30-100+ to value depending on the model.
RAM: 36GB > 18GB > 16GB > 8GB. More RAM means more value, though the premium decreases on older models.
Step 3: Assess Condition
Be honest with yourself about the condition. It determines your price multiplier:
Flawless (looks new, no marks): Full price.
Good (light scratches, normal use): About 90% of full price.
Fair (visible wear, maybe a small dent): About 80%.
Broken (cracked screen, bad battery, physical damage): 40-60% depending on what's broken.
Dead (won't turn on): About 25-35%. Still worth selling.
Step 4: Get Your Number
Go to SellMacBook.com, find your MacBook model (we have 654 Apple models), select the condition and any defects. You'll see a guaranteed cash offer, locked for 14 days.
