Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell a MacBook with a cracked screen?
Yes. A cracked screen is the most common damage we buy. The offer adjusts for the screen damage but you'll still get meaningful cash — often more than Apple Trade-In even on a broken unit.
Do you buy MacBooks that won't turn on?
Yes. Apple logic boards and components have strong parts market value. A MacBook that won't power on is still worth $100–$500 depending on the model and chip generation.
Is my broken MacBook worth more than Apple Trade-In?
In most cases yes. Apple Trade-In offers are conservative and take an even bigger cut on damaged devices. Our offers are based on actual parts and refurb market values.
Do I need to wipe it first?
If it boots, yes — factory reset via System Preferences. If it doesn't boot, don't worry about it. We perform secure data destruction on every device we receive.
