The MacBook Pro M3 launched in late 2023. In 2026, it's still a premium machine with strong resale value — but the M4 launch has started pulling M3 prices down. If you're planning to sell, now is a better time than six months from now.

Value Drop Timeline
MacBook Pro M3 Max configs have dropped roughly 8% in the six months since M4 launched. That trajectory will continue as M4 stock becomes widely available. If you're upgrading to M4, sell your M3 now — you'll get 10–15% more than you would in six months.
Condition Impact on Price
A MacBook Pro M3 Max in flawless condition gets the maximum price above. Good condition (some scratches, battery 80%+) reduces value by about 15%. Fair condition (visible wear, battery degrading) reduces by 25%. Cracked screen reduces by 55% — but we still buy it.
