Hey guys,

I'm going to be selling my Macbook Pro soon, it's the i5 model 13.3", can't quite remember exactly but I think it was £1199 when it was new.

Not so much looking for a price on what people think it would be worth, but it has a couple of very small dents. I was wondering if anyone knew whether this was a reasonably common thing with these, and whether it would have much of a bearing on the value of the laptop? One dent is on the lid of the laptop, in the bottom left hand corner and about the width of a pea, and the second one is on the right of the trackpad, on the rest. That one is smaller, only around 5mm across, neither of these dents effect functionality in every way, and it works great besides those two small dents.

If they were to cause a huge difference in the price, is there anything that could be done to fix them? I also lost the rubber feet from the bottom of the laptop, I have emailed Apple to see if they're able to supply or put new ones on, but haven't heard back as of yet. Are they just like sticky pads and available anywhere?

Thanks,
Ben

The dents will affect price if the buyer minds them

The feet should be able to be replaced at any apple store or aasp. Apple makes a kit that glues in.

Go on eBay and search for your model (same CPU, RAM, etc. or try to match it as closely as possible), then go to Advanced Search and check off "completed listings", that should give you an idea of what it's selling for. I briefly glanced and you're probably looking at around £600-700 depending on the config.

The feet aren't a big issue, you can buy new ones from a retail Apple store or off eBay but it's probably not worth it since you're selling it. Not much you can do about the damage, don't sweat it. Just point them out and try to give good pictures of them in the listing. Goes without saying, but clean your laptop real nice and take flattering well-lit pictures when you list it.

Thanks for the replies! Will probably purchase a kit for the feet and replace them if it's not all that expensive, but if the kits pricey I'll just leave it.

Thanks!
