Trends of the Mac Pro (2013) (Patreon)

I've been noticing a fair drop in the local used value of the Mac Pro (2013). From $1,200 six months ago to about $800, and one as low as $500 (Canadian$). From what I see, the 2010/2012 towers are more desirable and retaining value, while the 2013 Mac Pro is actually becoming less valuable than the older towers on the used market. The Mac Studio 2022 may be a factor.

The cylinder Mac is definitely an interesting ‘miscalculation’ in the same way the G4 Cube was. I suspect there will be a collector market for it once it falls to a certain price. Something I am keeping an eye on, because it is a cool design and always good to have an actual unit when I talk about it in a video. Also, it’s more powerful than anything I currently have. But could I survive without Mac OS X 10.6?

And to update, I’m getting toward finishing a new video. Thanks for your patience in what turned out to be a very challenging month. In the meantime, let me know your thoughts and observations on the old Mac Pro.
