What's it worth
Every Apple Silicon Mac mini, priced on merit
We're Apple-only specialists, so we value your Mac mini by what it's actually worth in the refurbished market — chip, memory and storage, not a blunt age cut-off. Here's the lineup we buy, newest first.
Mac mini M4 & M4 ProOctober 2024
The big redesign — smaller 5-inch-square body, front USB-C ports, 16GB base RAM, Thunderbolt 5 on the Pro. Apple's current desktop until the next refresh lands.
Mac mini M2 & M2 ProJanuary 2023
The classic 7.7″ design with second-gen Apple Silicon — the M2 Pro brought four Thunderbolt ports and serious desktop grunt. Note there was never an M3 Mac mini; the line jumped from M2 to M4.
Mac mini M1November 2020
The first Apple Silicon mini — the machine that made the M1 famous. Our oldest Mac mini bought as standard, still in solid demand.
We buy Apple Silicon minis — M1 (2020) onwards. Got an Intel Mac mini or something else not listed? Check here — it may still have value.

Getting the most for it
What actually moves your Mac mini quote
A few things swing the price more than people expect. Knowing them before you quote means no surprises when your mini arrives.
Chip: base vs Pro
An M2 Pro or M4 Pro is worth substantially more than the base chip of the same year — more cores, more ports. Check About This Mac and quote the exact chip.
RAM & storage
These minis can't be upgraded, so the config is the value. 16GB+ and 512GB+ hold their price far better than the 8GB / 256GB base models.
Cosmetic condition
Light marks on the aluminium are fine and expected. Dents or damage to the casing move you down a grade — see our grading guide.
Apple ID & Find My
Sign out of iCloud and remove Find My before sending — essential on Apple Silicon. A machine still locked to an Apple ID can only be valued for parts.
What's included
Your mini should come with its power lead and an official Apple keyboard and mouse — we'll still buy it without them, but the replacement cost is deducted from your quote. No monitor needed; keep your display.
Original box
Not essential, but it's the ideal shipping protection for a machine this compact — and telling us you have it in the quote form helps us price accurately.

Mac mini FAQ
Questions sellers actually ask
Q.How much is my Mac mini worth?
It comes down to the chip — an M4 Pro tops the range, and Pro chips of any year beat the base version — plus RAM, storage and cosmetic condition. Enter your exact spec in the quote form for a guaranteed, up-front figure rather than an “up to” estimate.
Q.Do you buy Intel Mac minis?
We buy Apple Silicon minis as standard — M1 (2020) onwards. If you've got an Intel mini, check with us here before writing it off.
Q.Is there an M3 Mac mini?
No — Apple never made one. The mini went straight from the M2 generation (2023) to the M4 (2024). If you're not sure which yours is, check Apple menu → About This Mac, or ask us and we'll identify it from the serial number.
Q.Do I need to send a keyboard, mouse or monitor?
No monitor — keep your display. But your mini should come with an official Apple keyboard and mouse along with its power lead: we'll still buy it without them, and the replacement cost is simply deducted from your quote (£35 for a missing power lead). Tell us exactly what's included when you quote and the figure is right first time.
Q.How do I pack a Mac mini for collection?
It's the easiest Mac to send — small and solid. The original box is ideal; otherwise any sturdy box with padding around the unit is fine. Collection is by insured DPD courier, free of charge, and the cover applies either way.
Q.Do I need to remove Find My and sign out of iCloud?
Yes. Turn off Find My Mac, sign out of iCloud and remove your Apple ID first — on Apple Silicon a machine still locked to an Apple ID can only be valued for parts. Our preparation guide walks through it.
Q.How quickly do I get paid?
We aim to pay within 48 hours of your Mac mini arriving and being checked, by bank transfer or PayPal — your choice.
Q.Is my data wiped securely?
Yes. As part of the Intelligent Lifecycle Solutions group we're ISO-certified in our data handling and wipe every device to Data Protection Act standards — the same process we run for high-security-sector clients.
