Can I sell a locked iMac in Washington?
It depends on the lock. Carrier-locked devices are bought. Activation Lock (iCloud) and MDM locks must be cleared first, because an iMac still tied to an account or an organization cannot be reset for its next owner. We never unlock devices for anyone except the owner.
