I had a very bad experience with Macback and wouldn’t recommend using this website. They damaged my MacBook Pro and returned it to me in that condition. I would prefer using MusicMagpie instead, as it’s a much better option for selling your used items.

Truly superb service. Very highly recommended
In the run up to selling my old iMac I had several questions which Jake (Team MacBack) answered clearly, quickly, honestly and efficiently.
The process of collection and payment is super smooth. You are given a window for collection by DPD on the day and I was paid the same day they received my iMac which was the day after collection. No messing about with these guys, no chiselling or delayed payment. Just a fair honest exchange.
I highly recommend Jake and Team MacBack and if you care about the environment knowing that your old Apple kit will be recycled by an honest business is really good to know.

SCAM ARTISTS
SCAM ARTISTS! I should’ve read the comments. Original offer on my MacBook Pro was 394 gbp, once I sent it to them they quoted me 108 gbp based on a few minor superficial marks, absurd as this was a top spec model I maxed out and nearly paid 4k for in 2020. Had them send it right back, total scam business, do not waste your time with these crooks.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry you were disappointed with the revised valuation, but we do need to correct the suggestion that this was in any way a “scam.”
The original quote was based on the device being submitted as Grade B, which on our grading criteria means:
“The item should be in good condition with a few hairline scratches and fully functioning in all ways, with no marks on screen. A well looked after item. Good battery under 500 cycles and fully complete.”
Once received, our technicians noted the following issues that fall outside that Grade B description:
Condition noted on inspection:
• Small chips on top
• Scratches and stains on base
• Antiglare damage and small chips on screen
• Small chips on hinge
In particular, screen marks and antiglare damage mean the device does not meet the “no marks on screen” requirement for Grade B, which is why the device was regraded and the valuation changed.
Importantly, you were under no obligation to accept the revised offer, and you chose to have the MacBook returned free of charge. We absorbed the costs of collection, inspection and return shipping, even though the issue arose because the device was not entered under the correct grade in the original quote.
We understand it can be frustrating when a device you paid a lot for historically does not retain the value you expected today, but resale valuations are based on current market value, condition, and grading standards, not original purchase price.
We stand by our assessment, but we’re sorry we weren’t able to meet your expectations.

Cannot Recommend!
I recently used MacBack to sell my MacBook Pro, and unfortunately, my experience has been disappointing.
The device did have some faults, a few broken key caps and a battery with over 500 cycles, which I understand would reduce its value. Based on this, I was initially quoted £13.75. From previous experience with MacBack, I expected the final valuation to increase after inspection, as it had done before.
Aside from the keyboard issue, general wear and tear, and battery condition, the rest of the MacBook was in good working order. Because of this, I do not believe £13.75 is a fair valuation, especially as it would likely be worth more if sold for parts independently.
I contacted MacBack the same day to raise my concerns, but since then, I have received no response. This is particularly unusual, as they were previously very responsive during working hours.
At this point, I feel let down by both the valuation and the lack of communication. Until this is resolved, I cannot recommend MacBack based on my current experience.
Edit: I seem it a suspicious, as usually as you are emailing someone back and forth, it would not go into spam automatically. I would like to add they stopped emailing me right after I informed them through email I wasn’t satisfied with the price given, and wanted my MacBook back (as I thought it would raise). Still, for a well functioning MacBook that has a few key caps broken, a 2019 model should not be worth £13.75.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you feel disappointed with your experience, and we’d like to clarify the situation.
The original quote of £13.75 was generated based on the details provided in the online form. Once your MacBook Pro was received and tested, our assessment matched the description submitted, which is why the valuation remained the same and payment was processed promptly.
We understand your expectation that the price might increase, especially if that has happened in a previous transaction. However, increases only occur where a device is found to be in better condition or higher specification than described — in this case, the condition matched the original submission.
Regarding communication, we have since located your email, which unfortunately was filtered into our spam folder, which is why there was a delay in response. We apologise for that and appreciate your patience.
While individual parts can sometimes achieve higher values when sold separately, our service includes collection, testing, processing, and resale risk, all of which are factored into the valuation provided.
We’re sorry this experience didn’t meet your expectations, but we hope this clarifies how the valuation and process were handled.

Absolutely fantastic service
Absolutely fantastic service. I decided to sell my old work laptop to Macback and it was picked up promptly via their prepaid DPD courier service. The pickup was smooth and effortless and Macback have contacted me to say the money (exactly the amount they said they'd pay) will be in my account the tomorrow morning. Easy, effortless and well worth it.

Terrible service and smashed one of our Macs
We had 6 macs we upgraded. Decided to test this service with 2 of them to avoid faff of listing them somewhere. Got 2 reasonable quotes, below what we would have got selling but that was expected. A regular courier turned up on the day specified with a couple of boxes. He was just bunging the macs in without the protective packaging as wanted to get down but managed to stop him so we could package them properly. He hen was taking them without sealing the boxes until we stopped him to sellotape the tops down. Surprise surprise, when the final offer came in one of the Mac’s was reduced from £160 to £100 and the other reduced from £180 to £23!! The 1st one was because there was no keyboard or mouse but there was nowhere to submit that was info in the quote process. It made it sound like you were just submitting info for the Mac and we never intended to include accessories. The second one was because the screen was smashed!! As the Mac was literally in use and unplugged when the courier arrived we can 100% say it was not smashed when it left us. The service appears to be the equivalent of We Buy Any Car where you get a nice quote online and then the price goes down and down once you are too far along to really do much about it. They say you can reject the final offer and they will send the Maca back but as one is now smashed it does not seem worth it. Glad we only tested them with 2 of the 6. £200 out of pocket. Would not touch them again and would warn you not too either.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand why this situation has been frustrating.
Firstly, regarding the damaged iMac, we want to be clear that we have opened a formal case with DPD to investigate what happened during transit. Based on your comments and the condition described prior to collection, we are treating this as a courier-related issue.
To resolve this fairly and quickly, we have agreed to honour the regraded value as if the damage had not occurred, and payment will be processed accordingly. We will then pursue the claim directly with DPD ourselves — you will not be expected to deal with that process.
In relation to the keyboard and mouse, these are required items for iMac trade-ins and are outlined within our grading criteria and during the quote process. That said, we completely take on board your feedback that this may not have been clear enough upfront, and we are reviewing how this is presented to avoid similar confusion in future.
Regarding the collection experience, this is not the standard we expect from our courier partners. Items should always be handled with care, packaged properly, and sealed before leaving the property. We appreciate you stepping in at the time, and your feedback has been passed on as part of our investigation with DPD.
We understand your comparison and concerns, but we want to reassure you that we do not intentionally reduce prices — valuations are only adjusted when there are differences in condition, specification, or, in this case, where damage has occurred in transit.
We genuinely appreciate you trialling the service with two devices and are sorry this didn’t reflect the level of service we aim to provide. Your feedback has been taken seriously and is being used to improve both our communication and courier handling processes.

Fast. Professional. Best quote
From the first contact to collection, assessment, and payment, it took less than 72 hours. The response from Macback was prompt and professional. They paid the full amount they quoted. If you are honest in your declaration of your device's condition, they will honour their word. I highly recommend this company.

Great company and for me a positive experience
I always look after my tech and had no hesitation in grading it an A. Thankfully Macback agreed and I will be paid by tomorrow. This company seem very fair but for me their use of a courier company to pick up the item made them my first choice to sell my laptop. Because of my experience I will definitely use them again and have no hesitation in recommending them.
