FAQs & Tips When Selling Your Mac Desktop
It’s important to know what Mac model you have to receive an accurate quote. To identify your Mac:
- Select the Apple logo in the top left corner of your screen
- Then, select About This Mac
- This should bring up a window that shows your Mac’s model, serial number, and technical specifications.
Alternatively, you can use EveryMac’s Mac lookup tool to identify your Mac by its serial number or other identifiers.
The best time to sell your Mac is now. Mac prices tend to drop rather quickly due to decreases in demand and new releases.
Our pricing algorithm is built to allow you to get the best price for your Mac. It analyzes thousands of prices in the resale market so that you’ll receive the most accurate price. However, resale prices can decrease on a weekly or even daily basis which is why you should not wait to sell your Mac.

Package your Mac well before shipping. Use the original box and styrofoam inserts if you have them. If you don’t have the original box and packaging, be sure that your Mac fits snugly inside a sturdy box and is wrapped with thick padding. Also, be sure to individually wrap accessories. Before shipping, we highly recommend that you insure your shipment against loss, theft, and damage.
