What to Do Before Trading In
It’s best to prepare your old iMac before disposing of it. Whether you intend to sell or donate it, you have no control over where it ends up afterward. Aside from backing up files you want to keep, you need to remove personal information from the device for your security. Here’s how to get your Mac ready for resale (or donation).
Can I Get Money For My Old iMac?
Whether or not someone will buy your iMac depends on its age and condition. If your computer is a few years old and in working condition, you should have no problem selling it. Very old iMacs look cool, but they aren’t valuable other than maybe as collector’s items. Even if your iMac is nothing but broken parts, we’ll have a recommendation for you. To see how much it’s worth, search for your iMac model on eBay, including sold listings in the search. Once you know what to ask for your computer, you can sell your iMac on eBay or another website. You can get it off your hands quicker by finding a local buyer with Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. However, you decide to sell it, include as much information as possible to speed up the sale.
