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

Recycling only recovers raw materials, while selling a working Mac mini keeps it in use and puts cash in your pocket. Lithium-ion batteries never go in a North Carolina trash can.
