In short: Sell My Tech is a UK specialist buyer of the Mac mini — the M4 and M4 Pro (2024), M2 and M2 Pro (2023), the M1 (2020) and the 6-core Intel (2018), Apple Silicon or Intel. The mini has no screen, keyboard or battery, so there's no display wear, no battery health and no cracked-glass worry to dent the price — condition comes down to the chassis, the ports and the fans. The single biggest value driver is the unified RAM, which can't be upgraded on Apple Silicon. We talk you through signing out of iCloud and wipe every machine on intake. Free collection across the UK, paid on exchange. Years in the trade.

Mac mini buy-back prices

Indicative Mac mini buy-back prices

Indicative UK pay-the-seller buy-back bands by chip and spec. The unified RAM is the single biggest driver — the low end is base RAM and storage in clean condition, the high end is max RAM, a larger SSD and excellent boxed condition. Placeholder figures, refined on your exact spec.

Model Price
Mac mini M4 (2024) — 10-core
Base is 16GB/256GB; 24GB RAM or a 512GB-plus SSD pushes to the top. A 2026 memory shortage has held used M4 minis high, so this band is kept elevated and re-checked. Original power lead and clean chassis earn the upper figure.
£430 – £650
Mac mini M4 Pro (2024) — 12/14-core
Starts at 24GB; the swing is huge on RAM and SSD. 48GB or 64GB unified RAM with a 1TB-plus SSD reaches the top, since memory is fixed and these sell for heavy compute. Base 24GB/512GB sits lower.
£700 – £1,050
Mac mini M2 (2023) — base
8GB/256GB is the floor; 16GB and/or a 512GB–1TB SSD lifts toward the top. Boxed with the power lead and a clean chassis earns the upper figure.
£300 – £480
Mac mini M2 Pro (2023) — 10/12-core
The big driver is RAM (16GB base vs 32GB) and SSD (512GB vs 1TB-plus). A 32GB unit is worth meaningfully more than 16GB on the same chassis, because the RAM can't be upgraded later.
£500 – £720
Mac mini M1 (2020)
Mature depreciation. 8GB/256GB is the floor; 16GB with a 512GB–1TB SSD earns the top. 16GB models hold a clear premium now that 8GB feels tight for current macOS.
£180 – £330
Mac mini 2018 (6-core Intel, Space Grey)
End-of-life Intel; value driven by i7 over i5, RAM (user-upgradeable here — 16/32/64GB) and SSD size. i7 with 16GB-plus and a 512GB SSD at the top; base i5/8GB/256GB at the floor. Often sold to home-server and Linux buyers.
£110 – £260
Bands are pay-the-seller figures, set below typical UK used resale prices so there's margin to refurbish and resell. They're indicative placeholders and move with the live Apple market — a 2026 memory shortage has held the M4 minis high, and an M-series refresh will soften the newest figures once it lands. Send your exact chip, RAM and SSD for a firm offer.

  • + Larger SSD — 512GB, 1TB or more

Mac mini we buy

Every kind of Mac mini

Based in Yorkshire · UK-wide collection

Newest

Mac mini M4 & M4 Pro (2024)

The current line and the strongest minis we buy — the M4 Pro especially, where 48GB or 64GB unified RAM and a 1TB-plus SSD lift the figure hard. Tell us the exact RAM and storage.

Apple Silicon

Mac mini M2 & M2 Pro (2023)

A steady market in both. The M2 Pro with 32GB and a larger SSD sits well above the 16GB base, since the RAM can't be upgraded later. Send the chip, RAM and SSD size.

Mature value

Mac mini M1 (2020)

The mini that started Apple Silicon. 16GB and a 512GB-plus SSD earn a clear premium now that 8GB feels tight for current macOS. Tell us the RAM and storage.

Intel era

Mac mini 2018 (6-core Intel)

Space Grey i5 and i7. The one mini with user-upgradeable RAM, so 16GB, 32GB or 64GB and an i7 lift it. Popular with home-server and Linux buyers. Confirm the spec.

Faulty & spares

Dead, no boot or port faults

No power, a dead SSD, failed ports, noisy or seized fans, liquid history — we buy for repair and parts. Tell us what's wrong and we'll still quote.

Also buying

MacBook, iMac & Mac Studio

Selling a mini alongside a laptop or all-in-one? We buy MacBook and iMac too, plus the Mac Studio — especially Apple Silicon and Pro models. Send the model and year.

Mac mini selling FAQ

Questions from sellers, answered

Common questions from people selling their Mac mini. Answered honestly.

What's my Mac mini worth?
It depends on the chip (Apple Silicon vs Intel), the unified RAM, the SSD size and condition — the price guide above gives current indicative buy-back ranges by model and spec. A boxed M4 Pro with high RAM sits at the top; a base M1 or 2018 Intel at the lower end. Send the exact spec for a firm figure.
Do you buy the M4, M2, M1 and Intel Mac mini?
Yes — every generation. The M4 and M4 Pro (2024), M2 and M2 Pro (2023), the M1 (2020) and the 6-core Intel (2018), working or faulty. The newer Apple Silicon minis hold value best, but the Intel models still have a market. Send the year, chip, RAM and SSD for a quote.
How do you work out the price for my Mac mini?
A few things: the chip and model year, the unified RAM tier, the SSD size, the chassis and port condition, and what's included — the original power lead and box. Because the mini has no screen or battery to grade, RAM and storage drive most of the figure. Mention each in the quote form.
Why does the unified RAM matter so much on a Mac mini?
On every Apple Silicon mini the RAM is soldered in and can't be upgraded after purchase, so the amount fitted is fixed for the life of the machine. A 32GB or 64GB unit is worth a good deal more than the same chassis with the base RAM, because buyers who need it have to pay up front. Tell us the exact figure.
There's no screen or battery — so what condition do you check?
Right — no display wear, no battery health and no cracked-glass risk to worry about. We look at the chassis for dents and heavy scuffs, check the ports all work, and listen for noisy or failing fans. A clean unit with the original power lead earns the upper figure. Otherwise the mini is robust.
Do I need to sign out of iCloud or wipe it first?
Ideally sign out of iCloud and turn off Find My, so Activation Lock is cleared and we can verify and resell it. If you're not sure how, we'll talk you through it on collection. We also wipe every machine securely on intake as standard, so your data never leaves with us.
Can I sell a faulty Mac mini that won't boot or has dead ports?
Yes. No power, a dead SSD, failed USB or Thunderbolt ports, noisy or seized fans, liquid-damage history — none of these stop us buying. We buy for repair and parts and tell you exactly what's affecting the figure. Send a short description and we'll still quote.
What if I've lost the power lead or box?
We still buy. The original power lead and box add a little to the figure, more so on the newer minis, but they aren't essential — the mini uses a standard kettle-style lead that's simple to replace. Tell us what you've got so the quote is accurate.
Can I sell my Mac mini alongside a MacBook or iMac?
Yes, and it's worth doing — we buy the MacBook and the iMac as well, so a mini plus a laptop or all-in-one can go in one collection with a single payment. We also buy the Mac Studio. List everything you're clearing and we'll price the lot together.
Is collection free, and how do you pay me?
Collection is always free and fully insured — same-day across Yorkshire and next-day or scheduled across the rest of the UK. You're paid on exchange: the moment we have the mini, have checked it matches your description and confirmed it's signed out of iCloud, you're paid by bank transfer.
About Sell My Tech

Run by people who know the gear. Specialists in Mac mini.

We've handled Apple desktops for years and the Mac mini is a machine we know inside out. Because there's no built-in screen or battery to assess, a fair figure rests on the things people overlook: the chip, how much non-upgradeable unified RAM is fitted, the SSD size, whether the chassis and ports are clean, and that the unit is signed out of iCloud with Activation Lock cleared. We price every mini against current Apple resale data, so the offer reflects what it's worth today — not a flat trade-in tariff.

Sold my Technics SL1210s

Sold my Technics SL1210s. The whole process was really straightforward. I sent the details through the website and got a fair quote back pretty quickly. Once I accepted, they arranged collection for the same day in Leeds. Communication was good throughout and payment was made straight after the unit was collected and checked. Really smooth experience overall and I'd happily recommend them.
