# How much is a used MacBook worth in the UK?

By [Artem Kulyk](https://pathau.co.uk/about/), founder of PathAu · Updated 27 October 2026 · Numbers from PathAu's own data, refreshed daily

A used MacBook is worth what the same model, with the same memory and storage, sold for. The chip sets the base price; RAM and SSD can add £100–£300 on top.

In the last 30 days PathAu found **339** MacBooks listed at least £30 under what they sell for (median gap **£69**); of the 85 we tracked, **71%** were gone within an hour.

## What changes the price

- **Memory and storage** — the biggest factor after the model: 8GB→16GB adds about a fifth on Apple silicon, 256GB→512GB about a tenth.
- **Condition** — AppleCare, "grade A" and the box add a few percent; "fair condition" takes off about 10%.
- **Locks** — iCloud or MDM (work) locked = parts value only.

## Questions

**Does RAM matter for MacBook resale?**

Yes. On Apple silicon 16GB sells for roughly a fifth more than 8GB of the same model.

**Where do the cheapest MacBooks come from?**

Private sellers on Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree and Vinted, and eBay listings whose title doesn't name the chip.
