The entry level iPhone 11 and Macbook Air are still premium products. You're not reselling your €250 unbranded Walmart laptop for anything more than scrap.

Yep, it's premium to the point that's search function friendly. Apple machines will hold their value very well but it'll be weighted in favour of the basic version of each model.
I think when you get to PC parts it becomes quite a bit trickier as everyone who is willing to buy used PC parts is way more knowledgable on exactly what they're looking for. A lot of things do hold their value pretty well. On the other side of things, you're taking such a risk selling computer parts on ebay (gotta be a lot of people frying components after buying them and not even realising it's their fault) that I can see why people couldn't be bothered taking the risk of reselling when they can just gift away the parts.
