Can highly recommend 'Macback' I had got the initial quote, which I was happy with. Once Macback had our MacBook back, they actually gave me more than quoted as the spec was better than I realised. They didn't have to tell me this, this was very honest of them and I really appreciated their honesty.

MacBook Pro was collected on Friday, message to say it arrived on Monday, contacted Tuesday to say there was a fault with the DVD drive on the Mac, we came to an agreement over the phone and payment in my bank by Wednesday. Brilliant company to deal with, no hassle at all.

Superb service. Was really concerned about who to trust with my beloved MacBook Pro. Read a lot of reviews and finally plumped for MacBack as a) they offered one of the highest prices and had a very easy-to-complete online form, b) they send out DPD as a courier to you to collect (who are the best IMO) and who give you a receipt there and then, and c) they had excellent reviews online. Also, they respond to emails promptly AND answer the phone (most places don't!) and a lovely man was able to help me with a concern I had re OS install after erasing the built-in harddrive. He was very knowledgable about Macs (tick!) and really friendly. The courier came on Thursday afternoon, I received confirmation of Grade C condition and amount payable on Tuesday and the cash was in my bank the next day. Couldn't praise them more. Thank you!

I wanted a new computer but I couldn’t justify getting one when I had one that worked perfectly well, even though it was a few years old. I heard about this company, so I figured if I could get a little cash for my old Mac I could get a new one. Well sure enough, I sent in my old mac and they sent me a check. I am now the proud oner of a new Macbook!

Great, efficient service. Prompt reply to e-mails and helpful telephone advice from Charles 🙂 Courier excellent - box for my laptop was delivered to my work address within 2 days and laptop picked up the next day from a local store. Money for my traded-in laptop was in my account the same day my laptop was checked. Very happy with the customer service and would definitely recommend MacBack 🙂

These guys are the best. They very quickly gave me a very fair quote online, without me having to supply an email address. Also they appeared to be highest price. Charles was most helpful and promptly and professionally assisted me through the whole process. The devices were picked up by UPS, when I wanted, and MacBack supplied a prepaid label to apply to the packaging. They even supplied an outer box if needed. I was kept totally informed on the progress of the delivery and result of the engineers findings. The payment was immediately paid into my bank account. A FIRST CLASS experience.

Preparing your iPad for sale
When backing up your iPad, you can use iCloud. First, connect your device to Wi-Fi. Go to settings and scroll down until you find iCloud and select it. Scroll down and select Backup, making sure that iCloud Backup is turned on. Select Back Up Now and stay connected to Wi-Fi until the process is complete. To make sure that the Back Up completed, go to Settings. Next select iCloud and then Storage. Next, click Manage Storage and find your device. You should see the backup details that show the time of the backup as well as the size.
If your iPad is paired with any devices, such as your Apple Watch, unpair it. Then, remove all of your personal information. To do so, tap on settings and go to iCloud. Scroll down and tap Sign Out. If the iOS is 7 or earlier, you can simply click on Delete Account. Click Sign Out again, then click Delete from My iPhone. You will need to enter your password when you do this. Next, go to Settings and click General and then Reset. Finally, click on Erase All Content and Settings. You may need to enter your passcode to complete the process.
Remember, when you go through these steps, you are completely erasing your iPad which means all credit and debit cards you have entered are removed. You will also remove photos, music, apps, or contacts. So make sure you are going to actually sell your phone before you go through all of these steps. Your content will remain in iCloud when you erase your device.
