Sell your old MacBook. Yes, that one.

It's in a drawer somewhere, probably the one with the tangled chargers and a lone Allen key from furniture you don't own any more. Hasn't been switched on since the vuvuzelas stopped. You've made your peace with it being e-waste. Fair enough. Give us two minutes to find out what it could still put in your pocket.

Buying Macs since

You've already decided it's worth nothing.

That's the expensive part. Not the MacBook gathering dust, the decision to stop wondering about it. We can't promise you a number, we haven't seen it. What we can tell you is that plenty of people who assume their old Mac is worthless are simply wrong, and the only way to find out which camp you're in is to actually check.

It takes two minutes. It costs nothing. Worst case, you confirm what you already suspected and you're no worse off than you are right now, reading this sentence instead of checking.

What “old” actually means to us.

Probably nothing you're picturing rules yours out. Here's what we actually see, and how it changes things.

01

It doesn't switch on any more

That's a starting condition for us, not a reason to stop reading. Tell us honestly that it's dead and we'll price it as a dead machine, which is still a real number, not a zero.

02

The screen's cracked, or the hinge is loose, or a key is missing

Normal wear for something that's been used for a decade, or dropped once memorably. Describe it accurately and it gets priced accurately. No penalty for telling the truth.

03

You genuinely don't remember what model it is

Neither do most people. Flip it over, there's a model number stamped into the bottom case, or we can help you work it out from a photo once you get in touch.

04

The battery looks swollen or the trackpad has lifted slightly

A known sign of an old lithium battery, not a reason to panic. Pack it flat, don't puncture anything, and mention it when you describe the condition. We'll take it from there.

A quiet, dimly lit desk setup at night

It doesn't get more vintage in that drawer. It just gets more obsolete.

Four steps, and you did the hard one already.

Finding it in the drawer was the effort. Everything from here is genuinely simple.

1

Two minutes, no commitment

Tell us the model and condition, honestly, even if that condition is "unknown" or "dead."

2

You get an actual number

Not a guess, not a range, an offer based on what you told us.

3

Free courier collects it

Anywhere in South Africa. You don't have to go anywhere or box anything yourself.

4

We look properly, then pay

We check it within 1-3 working days of it arriving, then pay within 5 working days once your offer is confirmed to match what you described.

Worked out that yours is actually a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro? Even better, we've got pages built specifically for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Not sure, or don't much care? Skip straight to getting your price and let the calculator ask you the right questions.

Questions, answered honestly

Yes. A dead MacBook is still worth a look, not a dead end. We price based on the real condition you describe, working or not, and plenty of very old or non-functional machines still have value in their parts, their aluminium, or as a project for someone with a screwdriver. You won't know until you check, and checking is free.

Just check. It costs you nothing to find out.

No commitment, no pressure, and no charger required to start.
