Find the Best Deals for Selling a MacBook Online

Posted by Khizer Motiwala on October 7th, 2016

A MacBook is a premium product that offers performance, looks, and utility. Using such product is an experience in itself, but the problem occurs when Apple launches updates and new versions of their MacBook line. You would want to sell yours and get your hands on the new one.

While MacBooks have a high resale value, not everyone knows the worth of a used one. People feel that they should get a good amount of money when selling their used products but are mostly in a state of confusion. You can try and sell your MacBook on various online classified and trade portals. Buyers can browse for and locate your used MacBook. You can mail it in or meet up in person to complete the deal. These options are not ideal and often take a long time. You may also not be able to get the price you want. Upgrades do not come cheap. Yet there are several websites that do offer MacBook buying and selling services that can prove worthwhile.

But before selling your MacBook online, consider these pointers so that you can profit from the sale.

•    Choosing the Right Website: You should choose the right website for selling your product. There are hundreds of websites ready to give you a platform but not all of them are worth trying. You should choose the platform on the basis of past personal experiences, or you can ask your friends and family for referrals and opinions.

•    Prepare the Ad: After choosing the website, you should prepare your ad properly which includes proper product description and features. The ad you are preparing should not be too descriptive as it may become repetitive and boring to read. You should keep the product specifications precise. However, do not overdo it with a one-liner either. You should explain your product as it is. Always provide the correct information about the warranty and after-sales support. If you have extended the warranty, be sure to include it and try to keep it crisp. Also, mention the reason why you are selling the product and do not forget to mention if there are any problems with the performance or hardware of the product.

•    Add-ons and Accessories: If you have some exclusive software, especially ones you paid for, installed on your MacBook, then you should mention it in your ad as it will raise the resale value of your product. This does not count for all software, especially ones that are connected to your apple account and are accessible across all your apple devices. If you are also willing to sell some exclusively compatible accessories like headphones, drivers, DVDs, or attachments, include them in your advertisement.  Adding this information will increase the overall value of your MacBook.

•    Price Expectation: The price you are expecting for the product should be clearly mentioned in your quote. You should not ask for the price which is way too high for a used MacBook. Ask for the price that is appropriate and has some scope for negotiation. Some sellers do not believe in negotiating the price, but it extends the time they have to wait to find a seller. They usually end up either lowering the price of the product or negotiating. Quote, a price which suits the specifications of your product and accessories and keep it negotiable so that the buyers would not cut you from their list just because they are short on a few bucks.
