Are there limits for bulk MacBook trade-ins at Apple Stores?

Hello Apple community,

At our organization, we purchase macOS devices through our Apple Business account and provide new MacBooks to new hires. As employees are offboarded, we’ve accumulated a number of devices that are no longer in use. Rather than let their value depreciate further, we’re looking to trade them in for credit.

I’ve already confirmed that each device:

- Has proof of purchase
- Is eligible for trade-in value

I’m trying to understand whether there is a limit on how many devices can be traded in at once through

Apple Store? I reached out to a local store, but wasn’t able to get a clear answer for bulk trade-ins.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Trade-In Value:

All of this is answered in great volume here: Go Here: Trade In - Apple

About these Forums:

It is important to note that these are just, user-to-user forums. No one here on these forums has any call in the value of sales and trade-in value(s). You are not speaking with Apple here.

Prepping this Option:

As generations of devices and time proceeds, the value goes down in trade-in value, inevitably ending in no sufficient value. So, valid or not for trade-in, I recommend that you do so, accordingly. It is important that you create a backup of your device, and sign out of iCloud, prior to ridding of it. But, Apple might have you do otherwise. So, see what Apple says.
