Used MacBooks in Solihull typically sell for £200 to £900 (about $270 to $1,200). Condition matters less here than the chip inside: the move to Apple Silicon split the second-hand market sharply, and the two halves price very differently.
Selling a MacBook in Solihull
Solihull is an affluent town on the edge of a much larger city, with a large car plant that builds premium vehicles and an airport and international station nearby. The housing is largely suburban and the high street has a long-standing timber-framed core.
Driving is easy and parking is straightforward across the town, so anything large is simple. The station and the high street are the landmarks everyone knows.
On designer items, ask for the receipt or proof of purchase rather than relying on the listing. WishThrift does not authenticate anything, so the seller’s own documentation is all the evidence there is.
Solihull, in England, has around 127,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Solihull
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.

What MacBooks are worth
What lifts the price
- Apple Silicon chips, which hold value far more strongly than the Intel generations
- 16GB or more of memory, since it cannot be upgraded later
What pulls it down
- High cycle counts or a battery already flagged as needing service
- Sticky or unresponsive keys on the butterfly-keyboard years
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold Option and click the Apple menu > System Information > Power for the cycle count
- Compare against sold listings for the same chip, not just the same screen size
Getting it ready
- Find the exact model from → About This Mac: the year, screen size and chip. A 2020 M1 and a 2019 Intel are very different products at very different prices.
- Check Battery Health under System Settings and note the cycle count and whether it says Normal or Service Recommended.

Put in the description
- Battery cycle count and health status
- Whether the charger is included and whether it is the original Apple one
Year, size and chip, in that order: “MacBook Air M1 2020, 13-inch, 8GB 256GB”. The chip generation is the single biggest price driver — Apple Silicon commands a large premium over Intel — so never leave it out. Add the cycle count if it is low, because buyers of used Macs genuinely look for it.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
