Not only for Mac computers ... for other stuff too, you will get LESS if you re-sale/trade in - whatever you want to call it- your product to store or another seller
It's because that store has to make profit out of your stuff, and believe me .. they make a hell of profit from pre owned stuff rather than selling brand new one
So .. in a simple way, to make your pristine MacBook worth more than $800 .. you'd have to sell it to ANOTHER USER .. yes it takes longer, you don't know for how long, and that's the risk of selling your MBP yourself .. but if it's worth the money you need for another MBP, why not
Selling it in store will net you LESS cash, but in fast and instantaneous way .. they'll directly accept your MBP and give you lower price, because you don't want the risk of waiting and selling it yourself overtime. I think that's very simple.
It's just not right to say MBP has low resale value because you sell it in store .. Apple won't take back your laptop for $1400 .. while YOU can
