Aug 22, 2016 7:20 PM in response to aertzby sarah_s1,Well hello there aertz!
Thanks for posing this concern here. The question appears to be, is credit available for a previously used Mac computer that can be applied to the purchase of a new machine? I've experienced the need to upgrade an Apple MacBook in the past. I may or may not have dropped that bad boy on a concrete sidewalk. I know, all too well, the importance of finding a solution so you have a working computer.
First, Apple does offer recycling services. Generally, to receive a monetary value for your machine, that device should be in relative working order. You can answer a few questions here and find out:
If the computer is unable to power on or perform at all, the issues are either hardware related or software related. If you wouldn't mind sending a detailed description of the issue you're experiencing, I'd me more than happy to provide a few solutions. In the meantime, here's a handy resource to run through:
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
All the best

Aug 22, 2016 7:38 PM in response to aertzby Grant Bennet-Alder,You should be able to replace the logic board on a 2014 MacBook Pro 13" through Apple for around US$800 (that is my recollection, from memory). The Genius Bar at an Apple store could provide a firm price, no charge for an appointment for an evaluation and quote. A third-party repair might cost less.
It value as a non-working MacBook is next to nothing. There are a few sites that buy up liquid-spilled MacBooks or non-working MacBooks and take them apart and sell off the major sub-assemblies: top with screen, keyboard-and-trackpad with palmrest, and so on, or recombine parts from several to get one that works.
