Got an old MacBook laying around? Gazelle this week wants to pay you an extra $25 in cash on top of its existing cash trade in value. Meanwhile — at $1,599 — this week's listing for Apple's current 15" MacBook Pro (2.2GHz, 16GB, 256GB) is the lowest price we've ever seen for this model, at $400 off MSRP.
Trade in your old MacBook for cash and get a $25 bonus
Gazelle — the nation's leading electronics buyback service and an AppleInsider sponsor — is desperately seeking your old MacBooks this week. As such, it's throwing in an additional $25 in cash payouts on all MacBook trade-ins whose value is at least $250, through Feb. 14th. So if you've had an old MacBook laying around and you haven't had the time to put it on Craigslist or eBay, chances are you aren't going to find that time anytime soon. So take two minutes to answer some quick questions about the specs and condition of your old MacBook before it degrades further in value, and Gazelle will make you a cash offer on the spot and send you a pre-paid shipping box. You'll then have 30 days to plop your old MacBook inside the box, and drop it in the mail. Gazelle will even wipe your data if you forget to. As soon as the service receives and reviews your MacBook, it'll issue payment in the method of your choosing.
Below is a sample of current cash payouts for some older MacBooks as of press time. These are just a few configurations, you can find your exact model here. Of course, Gazelle is also one of the most competitive purchasers of old iPhones and old iPads as well.
