MacBook Pro Trade-In

Broken MacBook Pro?
We'll buy it.

Apple quotes $0 for cracked screens, dead boards, and liquid damage. We don't. Every broken MacBook Pro has recoverable parts — M1 Pro and M2 Pro chips, Liquid Retina XDR displays, and batteries — and we pay from real parts value, not a flat "no."

What condition is it in?

Be honest — we pay for broken ones too.

Why MacBook Pros earn more than MacBook Airs

Pro logic boards have more value

M1 Pro and M2 Pro chips are in high demand for parts. A dead 14" MacBook Pro has more recoverable value than a dead Air — the chip and memory are worth more on the secondary market.

Pro screens are expensive new

The Liquid Retina XDR panel (ProMotion, 120Hz) costs $400–$800 to replace new. If yours survived a drop but the machine has other problems, the screen alone adds significant trade-in value.

We do same-day walk-ins

Frequently asked questions

Do you buy broken MacBook Pros?

Yes — all models from MacBook Pro 13" Intel through the latest M3 Pro and M3 Max. We buy them cracked, dead, liquid-damaged, with broken keyboards, failed displays, or any other issue. The condition affects the credit amount, not our willingness to buy.

How much is a broken MacBook Pro worth?

It depends on the model, chip, and what's wrong. A dead MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro earns $80–$160. A cracked-screen M2 Pro 14" earns $220–$380. A dead Intel-era MacBook Pro earns $30–$60. We price every Mac from its recoverable parts: logic board, display, battery, and chassis. Call (740) 223-5530 for a quote on your specific model.

Will Apple buy my broken MacBook Pro?

Apple's trade-in program offers $0 for any Mac with physical damage, cracked screen, or liquid damage. Their repair estimate for a broken MacBook Pro 14" screen is $475–$799 — often more than the machine is worth on the open market. We buy what Apple turns away.

My MacBook Pro has a failed display — does it still have value?

Yes. A MacBook Pro with a dead or cracked display often has a perfectly working logic board, battery, and keyboard. We price the working components separately. A cracked M2 Pro screen is worth $220–$380 as a trade-in because everything else survived.

What if my MacBook Pro has a bent chassis from a drop?

Physical chassis damage affects value less than you'd expect. If the logic board and display survived, the credit is still meaningful. Bring it in — we'll quote it in person. A bent M3 Pro with a working screen and board can earn $100–$200.

Can I trade a broken MacBook Pro toward a refurbished one?

That's our most common scenario. You bring in a dead or damaged Pro, we quote it on the spot, and you apply the credit toward any Mac in the shop — same-day. Many customers walk out with a working M2 MacBook Air or Pro the same day they bring in their broken one.

Do I need to erase my data before bringing it in?

If it still boots, great — erase it yourself in Settings > General > Transfer or Reset. If it's completely dead and you can't boot it, don't worry. Our techs do a secure wipe at the bench on every machine we process. No customer data leaves our shop.
