Best Way to Sell a New MacBook Pro?

Post date: 2021-02-24 02:39:35

I need to buy a new MacBook Pro next week. How do I sell it in a few months when the new 2021 MacBook Pro models come out?

Here are the details:

• I am buying a new MacBook Pro next week: an M1 with 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB hard drive. Price is still TBD, but likely $1700ish.

• This morning, I read that the new 2021 versions will have HDMI, SD Card slots, and a significant processor upgrade. Release date is still TBD, but probably May/June/July. No details on cost.

• I won't be able to wait until summer or fall to buy the new 2021 MacBook Pro. I need to have a new one next week for a new job I'm starting as a 1099er.

• But I don't want to be left with an instantly obsolete model barely 90 days after I bought it. I am going to want to upgrade. But this is all coming out of my pocket since I'm working 1099. I don't want to take a total bath here.

Here's my question: what's the best way to sell a barely 90-day MacBook Pro and still get the most dollar value?

Two caveats:

1. Yes, I know about planned obsolescence. These machines lose value faster than a new car.

2. And yes, I know you shouldn't put too much faith in the rumor sites. I've often counseled people who've asked me to not wait and to buy what you need right now. But this feels different. We are talking about a significant upgrade, and I want to plan accordingly.

Any advice would be most helpful. Thanks!
