Facts, not verdicts.

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.

Only a brand new resolution is billed: a 2021+ (10 character) serial Macfax has never resolved and that this key has not looked up in the last 24 hours. Cached serials, pre-2021 serials, repeats within 24 hours and every other tool are free at every tier. Call this before a large batch of serials to find out whether it can be finished. Without a key it reports the anonymous allowance instead.

The sold slice is the headline: verified-sale percentiles when the config has enough recent sales (sold.basis 'direct'; n and window ride along), else the asking band scaled by a measured clearance ratio (sold.basis 'calibrated', ratio disclosed). The asking band (median/p25/p75 with sample size), per-channel medians with net-to-seller after fees, launch MSRP retention and Apple trade-in floor ride along as seller guidance. Use the sold estimate as the price of the Mac; use asking to set a list price. The slices are separate and never blended — preserve the basis label when quoting.

Use when a listing or seller shares a macfax.com/r/ link and the buyer wants the facts behind it. status "superseded" means the same Mac was re-verified more recently under a newer report; treat the payload as historical state, not current.

Lookup is advisory and cannot verify condition, Activation Lock, or possession; a Macfax report can.
