Does Apple really want to buy your old iMac to sell you a new one? The answer to this question is quite clear if we do an appraisal of our equipment from the company's own website, DO NOT. We are clear that Apple does not want to buy your equipment when we see what it offers for a Mac that, despite the time, works perfectly.
Actually, this is something curious and difficult to understand since the purchase of another Mac is almost "obligatory" if they offer you a gift card or if you take the equipment directly to the store where you will see the new models well placed on their tables. but it does not seem that they are for the work when we see the final offer for one of your teams.
Do you want to change your Mac?
We give you up to € 1.024*for the one you already have.Delivering your Mac to buy another at a discount is very easy. You just have to take your MacBook to an Apple Store.

When entering the web it seems that everything will be fine from a sales point of view. This is the first step and that is see that they can give you up to 1.024 euros despite the * It is something that encourages anyone to calculate the price of their old Mac. After entering the serial number, continue adding data about the equipment:
On the Apple website, valuing a basic iMac from an acquaintance and adding everything he has, we see that its initial value in the absence of official inspection by the firm, is 281 euros:
This appraisal is made of a team that works perfectly and that also adds the Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse in perfect condition:
The offer may vary as explained but what is clear is that Apple does not seem very interested in users selling their equipment that works well to Apple. We have already seen appraisals of iPhone and other Apple equipment quite low, but in this case and although it is true we are not facing a new equipment or that has an official guarantee, It seems to us a really ridiculous price which makes the user lose interest in selling it to Brighstar.
Brighstar, is the firm in charge of carrying out the appraisal of our old Mac once the filters in the Apple online store have been passed and the truth is that we find it really incredible that the prices of our equipment are so low. Logically you have to be realistic and from the own website It is indicated that once they receive the equipment they will be able to give an official price, we cannot ask too much for a Mac that is 5 years old, but the initial appraisal that is made of the equipment leads the user to find other ways to sell a team that cost more than 1.000 euros. You can rate your Mac as long as it is from the end of 2006 onwards, if you want to share the results of your evaluation with us in the comments and tell us what you think about this issue.
