What's the best way to trade-in the MacBook Pro?

I have a 2021, 14-inch MacBook Pro that I bought in January for $2,700.

I'm looking to purchase an iPad. When I go through Apple's trade-in form, it says it's only worth $903. There's no way! What's the best way to trade-in the MacBook Pro for what it's really worth and get the device I need?

Selling it yourself to another person is the way to get the most money for it. It is also the most work and hassle.

I recently sold a 2020 MacBook Pro to Mac Me an Offer. No hassle and a decent price. I didn't do a lot of price comparison so other places may make a better offer but I had very reliable recommendations for Mac Me An Offer. See: https://www.macmeanoffer.com/
