Why People in the UAE Are Selling Damaged MacBooks
You are not alone. Every week, hundreds of users across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah search for:
- Sell broken MacBook UAE
- MacBook screen cracked repair cost
- Where to sell damaged MacBook in Dubai
Most are trying to decide between repairing or reselling. And for many, selling turns out to be the smarter (and cheaper) choice.
What Is a Broken MacBook Worth in the UAE?
Even if your MacBook is cracked, unresponsive, or out of warranty, it still has value. Why?
- Apple parts are in demand, even damaged devices are used for parts or repairs.
- Buyback companies like SYM offer instant quotes, free pickup, and secure payments.
- Depending on the model and condition, you can get anywhere from AED 200 to AED 2,000, even for non-working devices.

Avoid the Time-Wasters and Low Offers
Posting on classifieds or marketplaces can be draining. You will get messages like:
“Bro, I will take it for AED 100 max. It is broken.”
No thanks.
