Buying a used Apple^® computer can save you quite a bit of money in the long run. However, when you buy any type of pre-owned electronic device, it’s important to take the right steps to ensure you’re satisfied with the purchase. Here’s what you need to keep in mind when shopping for previously owned technology, whether it’s an iPad^®, Mac^®, or iPhone^®.

What Should You Consider When Buying a Used Apple Product?

1. Only Buy From a Reputable Source

You might come across an advertisement for a used device from a private seller during your search. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Buying from a private seller could leave you with a worthless purchase and no recourse for recouping your money. If you buy from a reputable seller, you’ll have the option of returning the device if you’re not completely satisfied with the product.

2. Look Up Prices Online

Ensure the price you’re paying for a used Apple computer is fair by checking out comparable offers online. Some sellers might inflate pricing to astronomical levels, at which point you’d be better off buying new. When you compare prices, you’ll know what’s fair and what’s not, which will allow you to make an informed decision.

3. Know When to Shop

When you look for a used Apple computer or device can also impact the pricing. When a new version of a product is released, the previous iteration drops in price. Also, devices tend to be more expensive leading into the fall and winter, thanks to the increased demand for the holidays. If you want a used product, it’s best to purchase in the spring or summer.
