  • Screen & Body: Look for scratches, dents, cracks, or discoloration.
  • Buttons & Ports: Test all buttons, charging ports, and any other connectors.

Step 2: Remove Personal Data from Your Device

Before handing over your MacBook, erase all personal data to protect your privacy. Follow these general steps:

  1. Back Up Your Data: Use cloud storage or a computer to save important files, contacts, and photos.
  2. Sign Out of Accounts: Deactivate any connected accounts (e.g., Apple ID, Google, Samsung, Microsoft) to prevent activation locks.
  3. Factory Reset your MacBook: Navigate to the settings menu and select “Reset” or “Erase All Content.” Ensure the process is complete before shutting down the device.
  4. Remove External Storage (If Applicable): Take out SD cards or SIM cards before packaging.

  • Original Box & Packaging (If Available): Providing the original box improves presentation and protection.
  • Accessories: Include any extras that came with the MacBook, such as a stylus, dock, or protective case.
Step 4: Final Touches Before Selling

A clean and well-presented device makes a big difference. Take the time to do the following:
