Before you ship

10 minutes of prep saves you a week.

None of this is required. If you can't do it, we'll handle it on our end. But doing these four things yourself means your payout moves faster and your data never leaves your hands.

1

Back up first

Time Machine to an external drive, iCloud, or just drag your photos and docs somewhere safe. Once that Mac is in the mail, those files are gone for good.

2

Sign out of iCloud and Find My

System Settings → Apple ID → Sign Out. This unlinks the device from your account and turns off Activation Lock.

3

Erase all content and settings

System Settings → General → Transfer or Reset → Erase All Content and Settings. Older Macs: boot into Recovery Mode and use Disk Utility.

4

Quick clean-up

Microfiber cloth on the screen and keys. Doesn't need to look new, just clean enough that our testing team can see what they're working with.

Broken screen? Dead battery? Forgot the password? Send it anyway. Every device that arrives here gets wiped in our facility before anything else happens to it. Your data does not survive the trip.

At our facility

What happens the minute your Mac arrives.

Every device follows the same four-step process at our Illinois facility. Same test, same people, same day it lands.

Cosmetic check

We inspect the screen, casing, and ports against the condition you described.

Functional test

Power, display, keyboard, trackpad, ports, battery health, and Wi-Fi all get tested.

Secure data wipe

Every device is fully erased before resale or recycling, even if it arrives wiped.

Refurb or recycle

Working devices get refurbished and resold. Anything beyond repair gets responsibly recycled.

Real people, real place

Your Mac is handled by our team in Illinois.

SellMac is run by Techable, an Apple device refurbisher that has been doing this since 2009. Every device that arrives is logged, tested, and processed by the same crew. No third-party warehouses. No overseas shipping. No sketchy resellers in the middle.

If something is off with your inspection, a real person on our team emails you with photos and the actual reason. That's the part most trade-in companies skip.

"We sold 40 iMacs from our school district. The bulk side of SellMac handled all of it without us lifting a finger. Saved our IT team weeks of work."

JT

Jonathan Brax, founder of SellMac

"I started SellMac because I was tired of watching people get lowballed by faceless trade-in programs. You worked hard for that device. You deserve a real offer, a real human, and your money in days, not weeks."

Common questions

Questions we get all the time.

How long does the whole process take?
Most sellers are paid within 5 to 7 days from the time they request a quote. Quotes take about a minute, shipping takes 2 to 3 days, inspection happens within 48 hours of arrival, and payout goes out in 1 to 3 business days after that.
Is shipping really free?
Yes. We email you a prepaid UPS Ground label after you accept your quote. Pack your device, drop it at any UPS location, and you pay nothing.
How do you wipe my data?
We fully erase every device that comes into our facility before it's resold or recycled. If your device still powers on, we recommend signing out of iCloud and erasing it yourself first as an extra layer of protection.
What if I disagree with the final offer?
If our inspection finds something different from what you described, we send you a revised offer. You can accept it or have your device shipped back to you for free. No pressure either way.
What devices do you accept?
We buy MacBooks, iMacs, Mac mini, Mac Studio, Mac Pro, iPads, iPhones, Apple Watches, and Apple Vision Pro. Working, broken, old, or new. If it has an Apple logo, we probably want it.
Is SellMac legit?
Yes. SellMac is owned by Techable, an Illinois-based company that has been buying and refurbishing Apple devices for years. We have an A+ BBB rating and thousands of paid sellers. Read our story.
