What this item is
The Mac mini M1 (2020) is a strong resale machine, and Apple Silicon holds value better than almost anything else we buy. We price from cosmetic condition and battery health measured on our bench, and pay a lot bonus on three or more. One firm rule: Activation Lock and iCloud must be removed before we can pay — we will walk you through it, and we never buy a locked unit. Common part numbers include A2348.

Questions
How much is a Mac mini M1 (2020) worth in 2026?
Our current indicative payout is $150-$220 per unit in used working condition, with the firm number emailed within 4 business hours of your quote request. The range moves with the market — the Payout Index shows what we actually paid over the trailing 30 days.
Do I need to remove Activation Lock before selling?
Yes — Activation Lock or MDM must be off before we can pay; it is the one non-negotiable. We walk you through removal (Settings → Apple ID → Find My off, or icloud.com/find remotely), and a locked unit that stays locked 14 days ships back to you free.
How is the price affected by battery health?
We grade cosmetics and battery separately: under 300 cycles with >85% health is Battery A (full multiplier); 300-700 is B; beyond that is C. The table above shows the matrix applied to this model — measured on our bench, shown to you with the payout.
Do you buy lots of laptops?
Yes, gladly — 3 or more units earn +5% and free boxes with foam. Business fleets and school carts go through the business desk for a manifest quote and chain-of-custody paperwork.
How fast do I actually get paid?
Zelle or PayPal within 48 hours of test completion; typical mail-to-money is 5-7 days end to end. Your quote locks before you ship, and if the market drops after we quote, we pay the quote anyway.
