Apple trade in Program..beware!

[fourthtunz]

So Apple lowered the price on their SSD and it brought the price of the mini down to where I
bought one.
The trade in from Apple offered me $650 for the 2014 MacBook pro that I had just bought for $779 6 weeks earlier but wanted the power of the mini.
Shipped it to Apples "partner" and now they offered me $250 because they feel the
screen laminate is not up to par.
So looks to me like this trade in program is crap..I will not try it again but will
keep my mini.
Good luck!

Did you have any photos to document your claim. Otherwise it is you against them.

Some people like me have had great experiences with the program. Others have not.

Without documentation you don’t have much of a case.

If you do, I suggest you contact Apple.

Documentation? I don't need no stinking documentation! Heh, yes i have everything but was not really considering a claim. I'll keep the mini and sell the MBP on ebay.
I just won't do it again.

You bought that 2014 MB pro used, so the screen lamination could have very well suffered over time or even the screen could have been replaced

Who knows what the previous owners did to it

The $650 initially quoted seem quite a good offer for such a dated machine

I do agree though that Apple’s trade in program is advantageous for Apple only

They offered a maximum of 330 bucks for my perfect 2017 mb air if buying the new one

I ended up getting the new mb air on sale while keeping the old one, still spending less overall
