Nah.

I’d rather Play the saftey card of just trading in with Apple direct. No hassles, straight-forward and not dealing with shady tactics from unknown buyers. I don’t need to make ‘top dollar’ for my electronic products.

I mean, Swappa is great for getting scammed, if that’s your thing.
If you have common sense you can see the red flags of getting scammed. But hey, your devices, your choice. These trade in prices are ridiculous compared to market, I’d rather keep in a drawer or as backup than trading in for this

More reason for me to keep my iPhone 11 Pro Max 256 and not upgrade to the latest and greatest. Works fine. :rolleyes:

Not sure this is how inflation is supposed to work. Or maybe it is: the little guy gets screwed, the corporations get more revenue.

Well I was getting a M2 Air and trading in my M1. That’s the end of that. Congrats Apple I’m done with your laptops. I was already on the fence waiting for the launch. Thank you for making the decision easy.
What’s awesome is Apple kept the M1 Air at $999, yet trade-in prices plunged. It makes sense only to Apple.
