Apple's Trade-in Values, really low?

[forrie]

I was looking to upgrade my MacbookPro16,1 to a silicon. I recently had to replace the logic board on this (1k). I figured Apple knows I've taken good care of this baby. But imagine my surprise when Apple offered like 679.00 for a trade-in 😜

Is this normal? I know I can look elsewhere, i just wonder what other's experience/opinion is about this.

An after-thought, is that trade-in at time of sale is convenient, folks are more apt to accept a lesser value during the purchase.

Yes, extremely low. You're paying for the convenience of it all.

Yes, Apple is robbing us with their ridiculous trade in prices. For my 2017 iMac Pro, they are giving $600, but they also are selling the same model refurbished for $5,000.

Don't Trade in. Sell it on eBay or through other sites.
