Does anyone have these on their MacBook pros? Will this affect the value of my mac?

Do you perhaps wear a watchband or bracelet that might be rubbing against the case while you type? If you're trying to sell the Mac, a few small scratches like those shouldn't affect the value much, if at all. If, however, those lines are caused by the case being bent upward from the inside, that could suggest a more serious issue, such as a swollen battery.
