Is this scratch minor?

Good examples of scratches are on your desk, left of the laptop. On the laptop, that's definitely a moderate dent.

Trading In, while convenient, is rarely at your advantage. I would go the used market route.

are you serious?

Yes - it’s a Dent not a scratch.

What fell on it to cause a dent of that size?

Just imagine you bought a brand new MacBook with this issue. What would you think? I bet you would return it or you would ask for a major price reduction. So no, it's not a minor scratch.

Yep, the difference between a scratch and a dent depends on whether you’re buying it or selling it.

If you're handy, you can probably replace the top case with one like this one on eBay. You'll take a bigger hit than the top case costs if you trade it in. Best would be to fix it then sell it instead of trading in.

Take it to Apple Store for trade in. Its not a scratch, a big dent for a laptop.
