Very misleading headline from TechCrunch.

True, but that's kind of what TC does...

They wanted to give me US$100 for my 2008 alu MacBook. I bet they're going to flip them on fleabay!

To be fair I wouldn't pay 100 bucks for a 2008 MacBook.

Is there that healthy a market for second-hand computers that are nearly a decade old?

For a 2008 Macbook, $100-$200 on fleabay.

I have been looking at 2008-2009 27" iMacs, and they still go for US$700-800. Since OS X has to be built for underpowered laptops, it should still perform well on desktops for a while longer.

And apparently my 2015 Retina MBP is worth $50 according to their page...

Ah, the fine print. So refreshing.
