Every Apple device deserves a second life.
SellMac is a Techable-owned Apple buyback service in Illinois. We pay fair prices for used and broken MacBooks, iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches — so they don't end up in a landfill, and so you actually get what your device is worth. Top-spec MacBook Pros currently pay out up to $4,150.
Old or broken to one person is still useful to the next. That's the whole reason this exists.
A college kid figured that out by accident in 2009. The business grew up around it.
The world throws out 62 million tons of electronics a year. Most of it still works.
That's the part that bothers us. Working iPhones in junk drawers. MacBooks at the bottom of moving boxes. Devices headed for a landfill that have years left in them. Every one we resell is one less in the pile, and one more check in the pocket of someone who didn't know what their old tech was actually worth. (Source: UN Global E-Waste Monitor.)
Three steps. The number you see is the number you get.
Most buyback companies quote one price online, then quietly cut it once the device is in their warehouse. We rebuilt the flow so the offer holds, and so you can see what's happening at every stage between your hands and ours.
Get an instant quote
Pick your device, answer a few honest questions about its condition, and you'll see a real offer in under 60 seconds. No email gate, no sales call, no "speak to a representative."
Ship it free
We email you a prepaid UPS Ground label. Drop the device at any UPS counter. You can track it the whole way to our Illinois facility.
Get paid your way
Our team inspects the device and confirms the offer. Pick how you want the money: PayPal, Zelle, bank transfer, check, Venmo, or Techable store credit with a 10% bonus on top.
Yes — and here's how you know.
SellMac is operated by Techable, an Apple device refurbisher that's been in business since 2016, headquartered in Illinois. Your device shows up at a real building and gets handled by a real team. Once it's wiped, tested, and refurbished, it goes back out into the U.S. market — used by another student, parent, or small business who needed an affordable Mac. Nothing gets shipped overseas. Nothing gets dumped.

Testing station
I got into this because I got sick of how the used tech space worked. Lowball offers, fake friendliness, support that disappeared the second they had your device. I'd been on the wrong end of it more than once.
The first MacBook I ever resold was in 2009. Mine died mid-semester in college and I couldn't afford a new one, so I bought a beat-up 2009 MacBook Pro, fixed what I could, and a few months later sold it for a profit. Then I did it again. That side hustle paid my way through school.
What stuck with me wasn't the money. It was that a device someone called "old" or "broken" still mattered to the next person. That idea turned into Techable, and SellMac is the front door — a way to send your device somewhere it'll actually be respected, and to get paid what it's worth without the runaround.
