Best Way To Sell My Air?

256gb, i7, 8gb ram. 11" June 2012 model. Only 3 1/2 months old. I dont want to get less than $1000. Will any trade in place pay this much? Gazelle, Amazon, and Apple Recycle offer about $675. Waaaaay to low considering mine is like new. Im trying eBay but im nervous about it. Already posted in craiglist with only spam coming. What do you guys suggest?

Take high quality pictures, describe your product accurately, and most importantly, require signature confirmation upon delivery.
I would add to this take pictures and screenshots of the Mac's serial number. Post them in the listing. eBay buyer fraud - in which a perfectly good MacBook is sold but a different, water-damaged MacBook is returned - has been a growing problem for sellers recently.
Do not offer return policy.
This is not possible. A seller must accept returns for anything "significantly not as described" which is exactly how the above buyer fraud operates. If the seller refuses to refund a buyer's money, eBay summarily seizes the PayPal assets and suspends the seller's account. For many selllers, PayPal places a 45 day hold on all funds received so they can't take a buyer's money and disappear.
Failure to include a return procedure will accomplish nothing except to dissuade potential buyers and significantly reduce the selling price.
Buyers don't just hold the upper hand on eBay, they hold the whole deck.

    Since you posted in the Thunderbolt Display Community, I am guessing you are attempting to connect a MacBook Air to a Thunderbolt Display, but since you tagged projector, it makes me doubt my assumption. Can you provide some more details on what you are trying to connecto your MacBook Air to?

    Tech,
    You don't provide enough information onto which anyone could reasonably formulate an answer.
    As mentioned, you don't indicate the circumstances that would warrant consideration of multiple partitions. Moreover, you also don't indoicate the size of the SSD in question.
    Like Fred said, ordinarily you leave it alone as one. Some people like to keep data and the OS/apps separate, but it is for specific reasons.

  • Best way to sell digital photos?

    Is there a way to sell digital photos through iWeb? Or is there a way to add SmugMug to an iWeb template? I have plenty of experience with Paypal and eBay and whatnot, but digital downloads is new to me, and am not quite sure of where to start.

    OK, since I last posted, here's what I've done...
    In iMovie 08 (which I never use because I really don't want to learn anything new - I like iMovie HD and will stick with it) I managed to put the photos into a "movie" that is about 2 hours long (each photo shows on the screen for 4 sec. with a 1 sec. transition before and after it). Then I decided to add music, so I bought songs from iTunes and added them. Now I'm trying to burn it all to a DVD that will play on a computer where I work, which uses Windows as their OS. I can't figure out how to burn to a DVD, though. I tried opening the movie with iDVD, but it wasn't even an option. The movie title was grayed out so I couldn't select it. Now I'm exporting it to my desktop, where I can hopefully do more with it. Any suggestions on how to get this onto a DVD?
    Thanks again.

  • Best way to expand MacBook Air SSD

    My daughter is a Medical Student with a 2013 MacBook Air 256 SSD.  I should have anticipated her video, (lecture), storage requirement.  Anyhow what is the best solution to expand her storage capabilities beyoun 256 gb and maintain some sense of portibility?  A high capacoty USB drive?

    You would have to buy a third-party piece of hardware to do that. There is no other way to connect two monitors to a computer that has only one video out port.

  • Best way to sell?

    Hello,
    Ive been back in forth between upgrading to a blackbook and staying put with what I have and as I weigh my options I cant seem to decide what the best route would be for selling my old macbook. Unfortunately, none of my friends are interested in buying it so my options are limited to ebay, and a trade-in on powermax.com. Has anybody done a trade-in with them before? They have offered me 790$ for my macbook, but there is a 4 to 6 week inspection wait before they actually give you that money. Any help, input, or ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.
    Joe

    Actually, $800 for a used MacBook (provided it's a basic model) doesn't sound all that bad. I wouldn't be thrilled about having to give it to them today... and not getting the $$ for a month and a half though. I would imagine you would want that money to get your new MacBook. You could give them a perfectly good MacBook... and during that 6 week "inspection" period, who knows what they could do to it and claim there was a problem and offer you less. eBay isn't a bad option. To be honest... the other option, which may be best, is just keep what you have. Why are you looking to get a new MacBook?

  • Best way to sell iMac

    I have a new imac that is about 2 months old. While I really like it, I am looking to get a portable computer. I put it on criags list   but it seems like everyone wants a mac book. I do not blame them, but any suggestions on how to sell this for a fair price. I am tired of people asking for 700 dollars when this is a 1200 computer only 2 months old.

    Leave it on Craigs List and make it clear low ballers will be ignored. Promote it with photographs and a good description of anything extra that comes with it such as software and/or AppleCare.
    At the same time create an Ebay auction and price it based on what similar machines are selling it for.

  • I want to sell my old macbook air, what is the best way to get my files and programs off of it?

    I am going to sell my macbook air (2011) as I am replacing it with a macbook pro retina. I want to remove my files and programs from it before I sell it. What is the best way to go about this?

    1) Perform a Time Machine or Cloned image backup of your system.
    2) Test the Clone tomake sure it works, by booting to it (using the option key).
    3) Boot to the Recovery Partition, then perform an erasure, followed by a reinstallation of the OS.
    4) Shut off the Mac, after instllation and before the reboot. This will permit the next user to experience a "fresh out of the box" experience.
    5) Use the Time Machine or Cloned image to migrate your apps, users & files to your new system, using SETUP ASSISTANT. Do not use Migration Assistant.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • What is the best way to transfer my music library from my windows pc to my new macbook air?

    what is the best way to transfer my large iTunes library from my windows pc to my new macbook air?  Not all purchased, many from CDs I owned

    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • Hi I would like to show a presentation written on my macbook air on my television what is the best way to connect the two ?

    Hi I would like to show a presentation written on my macbook air on my television what is the best way to connect the two ?

    Much depends on the available connectivity  of your television.
    If it has HDMI input available, all you will need is a minidisplayport to HDMI adapter, and an HDMI cable long enough to place the Mac in the desired proximity to the TV. The adapter is avaialble from the Apple Store online.
    Provided the HDMI input on the television supports sound, and the model of your MBA supports it as well, make suree that your adapter is also supportive of sound, otherwise you will need to run separate cabling from the headphone jack of the MBA to TV sound input or external speakers.
    This is a somewhat specific answer to a question without any requisite detail. You don't indicate the model or type of inputs on your TV, nor do you indicate the model/generation of MBA you have.

    That is absolutely not true.
    An NSU update for the N96 at least is a 125MB download or thereabouts.
    V10.043 to V11.018 was about 3.5MB via FOTA, V11.018 to V11.101 was no more than a few hundred KB, and V11.101 to V12.043 was once again about 3MB.
    FOTA is far more reliable than NSU since there are fewer machines involved (the phone grabs the update directly from Nokia instead of having it buffered by a machine, a machine running one of the most notoriously unreliable operating systems ever created) and therefore fewer points of potential failure.
    As psychomania pointed out, there are cases of people bricking their phones with NSU daily on these forums. To date, we have see one case of a failed FOTA update. Draw your own conclusions.
    Like our resident psycho, I hope that FOTA becomes far more widespread in the future. It is much more reliable and quick.
    Message Edited by grschinon on 28-Dec-2008 04:50 PM
    although i tend to agree that FOTA should be safer, but i think we might be jumping to conclusions to early, as there are about 91 phones supported by NSU, most of which are updated by the conventional PC way, whereas there are very few that uses FOTA (i knew of 2 handsets), hence the relatively lower incidence of failures...
