Tip: Easy Money for Your Used Mac - Apple Trade Up
Channel: Ray Ortega

My iMac broke and I plan to get a new one. Fortunately Apple has an easy trade in program so I can get some money for the broken one!

Apple makes it super easy and seems to give you a decent price for your old mac. Whether it's an iMac, macbook or other, the Apple Trade Up program is something I don't think many people know about. 

Simply enter the specs of your mac and the condition it's in at https://www.apple.com/mac/trade-up/ and they'll tell you how much money they will give you for it.

Even if you just want to easily recycle your old Mac, you can send it in for that as well. 

And even with my huge, 2011, heavy, iMac, shipping is easy and free. They send you all the materials you need and you simply put it in the box and send it back. You can even schedule FedEx to pick it up at your house or business at no extra cost. 

You might be able to sell your Mac on your own and make more money but I was surprised at how much they were going to give me back and the ease of doing so made it well worth any extra money I would of made selling it on my own.

However, in my case the iMac was unsellable. With a dead CPU and a broken screen it was really only good for parts and apparently that is still valuable to Apple. 

Another option would be keeping your Mac and using it in another way. This is what I hoped to do but then the screen broke, making it useless. So, I'll take the cash and put it towards the new iMac I was already going to buy. The 2011 did an excellent job for me for a long time! RIP
