If you take a few minutes to look around online, you will notice several places with Mac computers for sale. Many of these places are often selling gently used Mac computers for reasonable prices.
If you are thinking about selling yours so that you can upgrade to the newest edition, here are some tips to keep in mind.
Make a Backup
Before you even contact a company like Sell My Mac, the first thing that you want to do is create a new backup of your Mac. By taking a few extra minutes to create a new backup, you can rest assured that all your important files and documents are safely stored for later uploading.
Sign Out of iCloud and iTunes
The second step to preparing your Mac computers for sale is to sign out of either iCloud or iTunes. Which one you must sign out of depends on the operating system you are running. For those using Mojave or an earlier system, iTunes is the one that you want to deauthorize.
All users must make sure that they sign out of iCloud on their computers before selling them. Signing out varies based on the operating system. Some users will also need to make sure that they sign out of iMessage.
Reset NVRAM
Always perform a reset of the NVRAM to restore security features that might have been changed and erase the memory. To reset the NVRAM, shut it down, turn it back on and then press Command, Option, R, and P simultaneously. You should also erase the hard drive and reinstall a clean version of the Mac operating system.
