Why sell to us

What is SellYourMac.ae?

SellYourMac.ae is a UAE-licensed Apple device buy-back service operated by Azizi Technologies in Dubai Media City, trading since 2013. We price every MacBook from a live UAE resale ledger, send the figure in writing, collect free from any emirate and pay at your door on the pickup day, by bank transfer or cash. 69 verified Google reviews sit on our Business Profile.

01

MacBook priced from the live ledger

Not a form estimate. The desk checks what that exact macbook configuration resells for in the UAE this week.

02

A written figure, not a range

One number for your macbook, with the reasoning, on WhatsApp. It holds for 1-5 days while you compare.

03

Paid the quoted amount

When the macbook matches your description, the courier pays the written figure. No doorstep renegotiation.

04

Condition graded before pickup

Cracks, battery wear and dents are priced from your form answers up front, so the collection is a handover, not an inspection.

How it works

Five steps for your MacBook. Pickup can be the same day in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman when you book early; other emirates on a day you choose. Payment is made at the door on the pickup day.

  1. 01

    Send the details in the quote form

    Fill in the quote form with your MacBook model, storage, condition and UAE area. It takes a couple of minutes.

  2. 02

    Receive the AED quote

    The written quote arrives on WhatsApp, valid 1-5 days. The desk explains how the number was built so there are no surprises on collection.

  3. 03

    Free doorstep pickup

    Pick a time window. An insured courier collects from any UAE address: home, office, hotel, or Dubai International Airport short-stay.

  4. 04

    Inspection and data wipe

    On-the-spot check against the written quote. If it matches, we run a certified data wipe and prepare payment. A wipe note is available on request.

  5. 05

    Paid on pickup day

    UAE bank transfer (Emirates NBD, FAB, ADIB, Mashreq, Liv) or cash on collection, at the door on the pickup day. Confirmed before the courier leaves.

What moves a MacBook offer

Six levers, in the order the desk applies them. Put model, storage and battery health in the quote form for a written figure.

macbook pro

Chip generation

M1 → M2 cuts ~15%, M2 → M3 cuts ~12%, M3 → M4 cuts ~10%. Intel models 2018+ are accepted but priced 35-50% below the equivalent Apple Silicon machine.

01lever
macbook pro

Storage tier

Each storage doubling lifts the offer, with the biggest jumps on Pro models (256→512 up to 1TB→2TB). SSD tier is non-upgradeable on M-series so this multiplier is permanent. The exact amount is in your written offer.

02lever
macbook air

Battery cycle count

<300 cycles holds full value. 300-500 cycles takes a small deduction. >500 cycles or any swelling flags it as a battery-replacement unit and takes a larger one. The exact figures are in your written offer.

03lever
macbook air m2

Screen and chassis condition

Grade A (no marks): full price. Grade B (light wear): a small deduction. Grade C (scratches, dings): a larger one. Cracked screen: a bigger deduction still, but the unit is still bought via /sell-broken-macbook/.

04lever

Activation Lock and ownership

Find My off and a clean IMEI or serial before payment. A locked MacBook is paused at pickup until it is cleared.

Box, accessories and receipt

A small bonus on newer configurations, never required. Mention what you have in the quote form and it is in the quote.
