Sell a defective MacBook - here it works
If your MacBook is broken, don't dispose of it straight away! We'll show you where to sell your broken MacBook.
Sell MacBook on eBay and eBay classifieds
Many hobbyists and experts buy broken MacBooks to repair them for little money. However, you should definitely describe what is defective on the device.
- On eBay you can set the defective MacBook and hope that the price will be pushed up by those interested. Depending on the damage, it can be several hundred euros.
- On eBay classifieds you can offer the MacBook at a fixed price (on a negotiation basis). Maybe there are interested parties in your area. Check out beforehand, for example on eBay, what people would pay for the broken MacBook.
Tip: sell individual parts individually
Often only certain individual parts are searched for. For example, if you spilled a drink on your MacBook, the display may still be fully functional. You can sell the display of the defective MacBook as a single part via auction platforms.
- By selling the parts, you may be able to get even more money out of the broken MacBook. But you should be sure that the individual parts still work.
Sell broken MacBook for recycling
Alternatively, you can have the defective MacBook recycled and earn a little money with it. For this purpose, scrap dealers such as Electro World Recycling buy defective IT equipment in order to recycle the metal scrap.
