https://macfax.com/mcpcheck_mac_listingCheck a used-Mac listing before trusting itThe trust picture for one specific listing, by URL (eBay/Craigslist/OfferUp/Swappa/Facebook/Reddit) or Macfax listing id: whether Macfax knows it, whether it still passes every quality gate, scam/junk/classified/auction flags, when a scan last verified it live, its ask against the configuration's typical asking band, and whether a verified Macfax report is attached. Facts, not verdicts.
create_mac_alertCreate a standing used-Mac listing alertWatch the market for a configuration: Macfax emails the given address when new matching listings appear. CONSENT CONTRACT: create an alert only for a user who explicitly asked for this alert on this email address. The first alert for a new email stays inactive until the email's owner clicks the confirmation link Macfax sends; nothing is emailed before that, and every alert email carries manage and unsubscribe links.
get_mac_price_statsGet used-Mac asking-price statisticsWhat a used Mac configuration is listed for right now: median/p25/p75 asking price with sample size, per-channel medians with net-to-seller after fees, launch MSRP retention, and Apple trade-in floor. Useful for pricing a Mac to sell or judging whether a listing's ask is fair. All figures are asking prices from live listings, never sold prices.
get_mac_reportFetch a verified Macfax reportA verified Macfax condition report as structured data: hardware-verified identity, Activation Lock / MDM / serial-match checks, coverage status, and the signing chain. Use when a listing or seller shares a macfax.com/r/ link and the buyer wants the facts behind it.
Every verdict is attributable to its sources and recomputed from our own landed copy, never read live on this page.
lookup_mac_serialLook up a Mac serial numberIdentify a Mac from its serial number: model, configuration, and year. Useful for checking what a seller's machine actually is before negotiating. Lookup is advisory and cannot verify condition, Activation Lock, or possession; a Macfax report can.
search_mac_listingsSearch live used-Mac listingsLive used-Mac listings aggregated across eBay, Craigslist, OfferUp, Swappa, Facebook and Reddit, with scam clusters, junk titles, classified-ad bait, auctions and stale/sold rows already filtered out. Every result deep-links to the source listing where the purchase happens. Filter by configuration, family, chip, RAM, storage, price ceiling, and verified-report tier.
