A little preparation can make your MacBook inspection faster and help you avoid losing personal information.
1. Back up your files
Use Time Machine, your preferred external drive or another trusted backup method. Confirm that important documents and photos are actually accessible in your backup.
2. Check the specifications
Note the model, chip or processor, memory and storage from About This Mac or System Information. Accurate specifications help the buyer assess the right configuration.
3. Check its condition
Test the keyboard, trackpad, ports, speakers, Wi-Fi, display and charging. Note dents, marks or repairs rather than hiding them.
4. Prepare your account for transfer
Follow Apple’s model-specific guidance for signing out of iCloud, Find My and erasing content. Do not provide any account password to a pickup agent.
5. Gather accessories
Keep your charging cable, power adapter, original box and invoice if available. You can select the specific accessories you have when requesting a quote.
