Finding a used iMac for sale is a great way to get a high-quality computer for a much lower price than you would pay if you bought it new. However, buying a used computer is a greater risk than buying a new one because there is more uncertainty around what state it was left in by the previous owner. Here are a few tips that can help you buy a used iMac with more peace of mind.
Buy From a Trusted Platform or Seller
While you can find good used iMacs on peer-to-peer marketplaces such as Facebook Marketplace, it is also easier to get scammed on there. When you purchase through a platform that specializes in selling used electronics, such as Sell My Mac, or from someone that has an extensive sale history of selling refurbished or used computers, chances are higher that they are honest about the product they are advertising. Plus, you could look at reviews to see if other people had bad experiences.
Make Sure the Listing Matches the Computer
The most important thing to check is that the used iMac for sale matches the listing. It should be the same model and year, with the same specs that were listed. It should have the same ports (all in good condition).
Make sure to ask the seller ahead of time about their return policy if you aren’t happy with what you received or if you feel as if you did not receive what you purchased.
