Ignore the "trade-in" value. Your machine has excellent resale value, because it's a Mac. Take advantage of it.

If the laptop is from Apple's garbage era of 2016-2019 who would pay good money for it? Macs don't unconditionally have excellent resale value, the resale value depends on the quality of the item.

A lot of people will pay very well for those machines. I hear that you think otherwise, but that's because you haven't actually bothered to check. I agree with you that the 2016-19 machines are inferior, though.

Put it on eBay with an auction starting at 99c and see where it ends up, you'll be surprised.
