Sell your iMac

Sell your iMac

Got an iMac you're no longer using every day? It's still worth good money right now. But its value drops a little every month. At Verkopen.nl, you turn it into real cash quickly. List it, ship it for free, get paid.

How to sell your iMac at Verkopen.nl

Three steps. That's all you need.

Step 1 Find out what your iMac is worth: Select your model and answer a few questions about the year, chip, RAM and storage. Within a minute you'll see a fair, up-to-date price. No hidden costs, no surprises later.

Step 2 Ship your iMac for free: Once you've signed up, you'll receive a free shipping label by email. An iMac is bigger than a phone or laptop, so pack it well. Use the original box or a sturdy cardboard box with plenty of padding. Drop it off at a PostNL point.

Step 3 Money in your account: Our specialists check your iMac and confirm the offer. Happy with it? The money lands in your account within 1 to 2 working days. Not happy? We'll send your iMac back free of charge.

How to assess the condition of your iMac

An accurate condition check leads to a smoother process. The more honest you are about the condition, the less chance of an adjusted offer later on.

Check your iMac like this:

• Check the large screen. Look for scratches, dead pixels, discolouration or burn-in. Hold the screen at an angle under a light and inspect it carefully from multiple angles.
• Check the back and stand. Look for dents, scratches and damage around the ventilation openings.
• Check the ports. Inspect the USB-C, Thunderbolt and other ports on the back for damage or deformation.
• Check the keyboard and mouse. Sending them along? They'll earn you more. Check both for condition and functionality.
• Check the model via your Mac. Click the Apple logo in the top left, choose About This Mac. You'll see the exact model, year, chip, RAM and storage.

Sell now, the value drops every month

iMac models with an Intel chip are losing value faster now that the entire Mac range has switched to Apple Silicon. The more people upgrade to newer models, the bigger the supply of second-hand iMacs on the market. More supply means lower prices.

A desktop sitting unused also loses value. Internal storage degrades when left idle for a long time. An iMac worth €640 today might only fetch €350 next year. Sell today and get the most out of it.

Sell your iMac or trade it in?

Some services let you trade in your iMac for credit. Sounds handy, but that credit can only be spent with that one provider. You're locked in to one choice and the amount is usually lower than with a direct sale.

At Verkopen.nl you get real money in your account. No credit, no conditions, no required purchase. You decide what you do with it. That's the difference.

How to prepare your iMac for sale

Sort this out before you ship.

• Back up your data. Use Time Machine or iCloud to save all your files safely.
• Sign out of iCloud. Go to System Settings, click your name and choose Sign Out. This unlinks the iMac from your Apple ID.
• Wipe your iMac. On macOS Monterey and later: go to System Settings, General, Transfer or Reset and choose Erase All Content and Settings. On older macOS versions: start up in recovery mode via Command + R at boot and wipe the drive using Disk Utility.

Can't manage the wipe? Send it in and our specialists will wipe it securely after we receive it. Your data will never end up with anyone else.

How much is your iMac worth?

The value depends on the model, year, chip (Intel or M-series), screen size, RAM and storage. A newer iMac with an M-series chip is worth significantly more than an older Intel model. Below you'll find the current trade-in values for the most popular models.

Got an older model or a different size? Use our tool to get an instant price. It takes less than a minute.
