The wife has just put the 2019 MBP into CEX... lets see what it gets graded as....

Hoping it'll be a Grade A so £1445. A bit better than the £810 Apple quoted for a trade in!!!!

Not going to lie, I am also on the fence about whether to swap to a BTO with 32gb Ram. Just for future worries really. My return period ends on Tuesday so I need to have a good / quick think

Which model did you get originally?
 
14" or 16"?

Can we have some photos, please?
14. Sure thing- the zip can be folded back ever so slightly so no danger of scratching the laptop too.

16" mid tier Pro

in hindsight I wish I went with the Max as I could of got it off the shelf and had 32gb ram. looked around but nowhere has stock at the moment, not even apple

What’s the waiting time for 16” BTO?

I’d say go for the ram if you’re having doubts. £400 more but say you’re keeping it for 3 years then it’s the cost of a cup of coffee a week for it

well CEX have called....

Apparently there were some scratches on it. So offered me £1189 for it as a B grade. Not happy.

However it is more than Apple would give me, so I have accepted it.

I suspect they've scratched it deliberately or being careless with it while testing as that was immaculate.

Try a different branch? That’s if they’ve not scratched it as you say!

Oh I don't doubt it is scratched now. I feel that the exterior condition should be assessed in front of the customer really. fair enough the hardware testing but nothing is going to change with the exterior unless they damage it.

I have accepted it, partly (mostly) under duress from the wife 😂 although a different branch would have been an idea, but I suspect they have it logged on their system now and no doubt it is actually scratched.

I had a similar problem selling my son's iPhone X to reBuy last year. Fortunately the difference in price wasn't that bad so I just let it go.

Out of interest what model of the 2019 16" MBP was this - RAM, storage etc, I'd be curious to know 👍

i9, 32gb 2TB SSD

The difference is enough to Pee me off but if its more than Apple offer then I'm still happy, ish.

I've learnt a valuable lesson here though. This is why I did it in store to stop crap like this being pulled.

Ive submitted a complaint but obviously that'll go nowhere. made me feel better though 😂
 
It is excellent. Go for it:)

Just pre-ordered the dark brown leather sleeve from Harber London using the 15% discount code HLDCODE. That makes it £58.65 including shipping, pretty good value I'd say. Delivery is about 2 weeks apparently.

If anyone wants a 20% off discount code (which I've been given as a result of my purchase) just DM me.
 
I'd be surprised if they give more than 20% off for Black Friday but you never know.

If you want it in due course just let me know.

By the way, the 20% off code I have is not limited to single use so anyone interested is welcome to it. I'm not posting it publicly because it contains my name.

Can I have the code as well please. My 14” won’t turn up until the end of the month but do need a nice sleeve for it.
