I'd like to know how much I'd get if I were to recycle my early 2015 MacBook Air to Apple. Keep in mind, this MacBook has had no damage done to it.
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
Depends on the exact specs. You can get a tentative quote here:
You would do better than submit the fairly recent device to
a recycler, if you were to sell privately to a known person or
if an independent computer shop does consignment selling.
Even a craigslist sale, given if you safely do so, would get more.
An ebay sale too, or working with someone who uses amazon
may be a way. Not all the processes in the Apple recycle site link
may apply; values will be less than market, & often only gift card.
If you were going to try & buy again from the Apple Store or
their online site, Apple may offer a value against new item;
but generally not near actual retail you could walk away with.
Several sites online offer to buy computers; most pay little or
near nothing and then have someone check them out, & resell.
The profit motive is a driving force in re-sale of 'recycled' Macs.
Best outcomes in whatever you choose to do. I'd ask an AASP
• Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider an independent
Apple computer service provider who also has a retail store,
if they occasionally buy a 'like new' Mac, or consign-sell them.

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
