#Macbook pro 2015 trade in value pro#
I didn’t look beyond ten years, since I doubt many will be looking to buy or sell a Macbook of that age.īut a cursory look at some of the very early 2006 Macbook Pro models shows that as long as the laptop still works, they can hold some value – $61 on average in fact. Depreciation at six years oldĭeprecation: 68.5%. Depreciation at five years oldĭeprecation: 68.7%. Depreciation at four years oldĪt four years old, expect the deprecation to be 57.1%. This I believe to be the main reason for such a steep drop in price. Depreciation at three years oldĪt three years old, the depreciation is 51.3%, the biggest percentage drop.Īt three years old most warranties will have come to an end, unless extended further. This is not a million miles away from the price in year one (about $88 difference).Īgain, we’re probably still in an extended warranty period here if the user or business has taken out AppleCare+. Depreciation at two years oldĪt two years old, expect a deprecation of 37.3%.
This may be because of Apple’s extended warranty period. Whilst this is a reasonable drop in value, it doesn’t lose half of its value until year three. Depreciation at one year oldĪt one year old, expect a deprecation of 30.6%.
I also excluded Macbooks that were being sold without a screen. I only looked at ‘used’ models and not ‘For parts or not working’ on.

I’m not claiming what I have done here is perfect, but it should at least give you an idea of how to price a Macbook to sell. But knowing just how much value they lose requires research.īy analyzing the sold prices of hundreds of Macbooks I’ve been able to come up with some figures that show how typical, base model 13-inch Macbook Pros and Macbook Airs depreciate over time.
