Reply With QuoteI’ve used Hoxton Macs in North London to buy a used IMac before, they specialise in used Macs and Macbooks , I don’t know if they would be interested but might be worth a phone call
Evening guys.
I currently have a 2013 Imac 27" which I have had for a few years and its been faultless.
Having just opened up a new office I am often travelling back and forth and the Imac is becoming redundant so I am wanting to 'trade' it in for a Macbook. Any recommendations on companies who offer this service?
I cant really be bother with the whole eBay sales process so would prefer the above. I still have the original box and packaging so posting wont be a problem either.

Macbank might be another place to approach - another specialist Apple reseller. I bought a Mac Pro from them a few years ago to replace an outgoing iMac (hey remember when you could get an iMac for £799?)
They may not be interested in a "swap" as you describe however they may offer you a more favourable part ex valuation if you declare your intention to take a Macbook from their stocks.

Apple themselves do a 'trade-in' option - probably not the best deal in the world but you can get an online quote via their website. There is always SC! Have a look at the refurbished section - which I have bought from and TBH the products are 'as new' and come with full Apple warranty.
I guess you are aware of the 'keyboard gate' fiasco with some MacBook models? I have a MacBook and bought a keyboard cover - also Apple will replace any faulty even outside of normal warranty period. keyboard-service-program-for-macbook-and-macbook-pro

If you do get a MacBook - keep your Apple Bluetooth keyboard and lug that with you (if you are anything other than ‘hunt and peck’ typist)
I must say that I find the magic keyboard absolutely brilliant.

What about sticking it on the forum, Imacs always sell well here.

Thanks everyone, I will look in to it.
Happy to put a few hundred on top of the Imac for a new-ish model.
I actually have a Macbook Pro but my fiance uses that and I mainly use the Imac, the macbook has been great & that was purchased as a refurbished model so happy to go down that route again.
Could be an option I suppose although I have no idea how much its worth!
I will look in to that and consider it.
like others have said pop it on the SC.
i am currently looking to replace my aging Mac Mini with an iMac, so could be interested. Feel free to wing me over the spec/model number.
