iMac M1 Trade in Value

The serial # does not show correct memory and hard drive size when checking trade in value.

I bought a refurbished iMac direct from Apple Store and the serial # shoes the following spec:

Mac M1 8-Core CPU and 8-Core GPU 24" (Early 2021) 256GB SSD, 8GB Memory

Trade in Value = $255.00

The actual spec shown on sales slip and on about this Mac is:

Mac M1 8-Core CPU and 8-Core GPU 24" (Early 2021) 512GB SSD, 16GB Memory

Shouldn't the trade in value be higher to reflect the higher specs.

Thanks

iMac 24″

No one here is responsible for the trade-in process and we cannot correct what Apple offers for trade-in value. There is no appeal process. Take it or leave it.

My 2020 27-inch iMac Core i7 3.8 Ghz with 8 GB RAM (when purchased), 1TB SSD, and 8GB RAM discrete GPU only shows a trade-in value of $250.
