Does that apply to the 2014 mac mini apple is still selling for the same price? Otherwise it’s hypocrisy at its finest.
Apple does not take any computers in store. It’s online only ...soooo yea...WTF. Just last week I got my Apple Store Gift card for turning in my late-2010 27" iMac.
And I can't check the website with the serial number to see what the new value is.
Meanwhile a ton of folk have been volunteering their Apple Serial numbers to a company who apparently provide very little service in return for this potentially juicy info.
Or am just being paranoid?

My mind can't figure out what to do with all those serial numbers but now you make me wonder?????Meanwhile a ton of folk have been volunteering their Apple Serial numbers to a company who apparently provide very little service in return for this potentially juicy info.

Online only. They don't want people to break out into uncomfortable laughter in the store, while at the same time someone nearby over hears the conversation and offers an additional $500 on the spot to buy the computer.
Nor can I, but I ponder why they need serial numbers when they could do just as well by getting model numbers, CPU, RAM, storage and condition information.
Like I say, I may be paranoid, but I do wonder about things like this. After all, they're not doing this out the goodness of their hearts.
The only thing I can think of is the serial # does give them an independent resource to verify the as built info.
Can this be done in an Apple Store for immediate gift card?

I'm going to do this for my iMac when I get home. I bet I too will be laughing at the joke
Online only. Apple doesn't want people to break out into uncontrollable laughter in the store when they receive their trade-in quite. There is also the risk that someone standing nearby meght over hear the quote and offer a fair price.
macofalltrades is the best I've used for this exchange service. I have never had an issue with them "inspecting" my stuff and trying to undercut it. They have always paid the amount they say on the estimate.
Only a meth addict would accept these trade in values. $950 for a 1 year old iMac 5K is absurd.
I actually disagree. That little for a 2 or 3 year old Mac is ridiculous. Yes, many things depreciate fast, but that’s like offering someone $10,000 for their 2015 E Class. Nothing depreciates THAT fast.
My Late 2013 15” rMBP is STILL selling on eBay for $700-$800.
I also prefer to just give my old stuff away as well, but come on now.
Phobio? Yes, I did. Based on some other values I've seen posted however, I suspect that older, less valuable machines like mine was didn't change.
Page isn't displaying the correct hardware information for mine, so wouldn't trust the quotes at the moment.
They just offered me $795 for a mid 2015 MBP with 1TB of SSD. How do these companies stay in business? Who sells their stuff to these people? What a joke lol.
