An iMac or Mac mini may still be useful after you switch to a newer desktop computer. To get an accurate resale quotation, start by checking the exact model and included accessories.
Find the model and specifications
Choose Apple menu → About This Mac. Note the iMac screen size or Mac mini model, year, Apple chip or Intel processor, memory and storage. On supported macOS versions, storage details are available under System Settings → General → Storage.
For an iMac, note whether the display is working properly. For a Mac mini, be clear about whether the sale includes just the computer or additional items such as a keyboard, mouse, monitor and cables.
What changes the resale value?
• Chip and generation: An Apple-silicon model differs significantly from an older Intel configuration. • RAM and SSD: These are important in many desktop Mac valuations. • Display condition: For iMac, brightness, lines, spots, cracks and dead pixels matter. • Ports and connectivity: Test USB, Thunderbolt, HDMI where available, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. • Cosmetics and accessories: Report damage and list only what will be handed over.
A Mac mini is not automatically less valuable because no display is included: its normal retail package is different from an iMac's.
Back up and erase your desktop Mac
Transfer important files to a new computer or secure backup. Sign out of your Apple Account, disable Find My and follow Apple's official reset steps for that specific model and macOS version. Newer supported Macs may offer Erase All Content and Settings. Older models often require disk erasure and macOS reinstallation via Recovery.
If the Mac belongs to an employer or school, the relevant organisation must properly release management controls. Do not attempt to bypass them.
Prepare the device for pickup
Have the power cable and any agreed accessories ready. For an iMac, a stable surface with accessible power makes testing easier. For a Mac mini, a compatible display and input devices may be needed during verification. Remove external drives and memory cards that are not included.
