How to Check Your MacBook Pro M1’s Value and Sell It

Considering selling your MacBook Pro M1 but unsure about its value or the best selling approach? This guide will help you assess your MacBook’s value and decide whether to sell it yourself or choose a quicker sale option. 

To get started, you need to know your MacBook’s market value. A good way to do this is by checking eBay’s “sold” listings. Enter the details of your MacBook—like year, screen size, memory, and speed—and look for similar listings that have recently sold. This will give you an average price for your model.
Once you know the value, you have two main selling options: sell it yourself on platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist , where you handle everything directly, or go through a store like Sell N Buy Wireless. We offer about 40-60% of the average price, which is ideal if you want a quick sale without the hassle of listing, shipping, or dealing with buyers.

Factors That Affect Your MacBook Pro M1’s Value

  • Maintaining Good Condition:
    A MacBook free of dents, scratches, and cracks will always attract a better resale price. Keep it protected with a case and handle it with care.

  • Low Cycle Count:
    The cycle count shows how many times the battery has been fully charged. A lower cycle count means the battery is healthier. To check your MacBook’s cycle count, click on the Apple menu > About This Mac > System Report > Power. Keeping it low is key for maintaining value.

  • Original Charger Included:
    The original charger is a big plus when selling. It shows the buyer that the device has been well maintained.

  • Original Box Adds Value:
    Having the original box can increase interest. Many buyers prefer to buy MacBooks that come with the original packaging, as it suggests careful ownership.

Preparing Your MacBook Pro M1 for Sale

To get your MacBook ready and ensure you receive the best offer, follow these steps:

  1. Sign Out of iCloud and Apple ID:
