- 1

Cash on collection, or same-day AED transfer to Emirates NBD, FAB, ADIB, Mashreq or Liv. Spend it on the new Mac — at any retailer.
Why Mac trade-ins pay more in cash with SellYourMac.ae
Apple Trade-In UAE prices a desktop Mac for recycling and undervalues high-spec builds — the very RAM and SSD upgrades you paid a premium for barely move Apple's number. SellYourMac.ae buys for the secondary market, where a maxed Mac Studio or Mac Pro commands real money, so our written Mac trade-in offers usually sit 25–40% above Apple's, in AED cash.
Apple Trade-In gives credit redeemable only at apple.com/ae or an Apple Store. SellYourMac.ae sends AED to Emirates NBD, FAB, ADIB, Mashreq or Liv the same day as collection — and our two-person crew carries the heavy units, so you never have to.
Every desktop Mac accepted
SellYourMac.ae trades in iMac (M1, M3, M4), Mac mini (M2, M2 Pro, M4, M4 Pro), Mac Studio (M1, M2, M3 Ultra, M4 Max) and Mac Pro (M2 Ultra Tower and Rack), plus recent Intel desktops. Any chip tier, any RAM and SSD configuration.
Chip tier, RAM & SSD drive the offer
On Apple Silicon the RAM and SSD are soldered, so the configuration you bought is the configuration we price — a maxed M3 Ultra or M4 Max is worth far more than a base unit. Keep the original power cable; Mac Studio and Mac Pro cables are hard to source.
Trade-in tips that lift your AED payout
Sell before Apple's next desktop refresh — values fall 8–15% within 30 days of a new generation. Sign out of iCloud, deauthorise the Mac in Apple Music, and turn off Find My so Activation Lock doesn't block the buyback.
