Invalid Serial Number?

I have a valid MacBook Pro (Late 2012) and when I try and use the serial number, for instance, trade in value, it barks at me saying this... any ideas?

I can say that a mid-2012 15" MBP (non-retina) trade in with everything working—would be ~$220 USD

You may be better off selling it locally...

MacBook Serial Number invalid I'm trying to trade in my MacBook Air, but when I entered the serial number, it says it's not valid, which seems strange to me. I purchased it online from Apple. Can you please check and let me know what's going on?" The serial number is "FV*******6L4." Thank you for your assistance. [Edited by Moderator]

Invalid Serial Number I am trying to enter my serial number to access my trade-in value for my MacBook Pro 2015, but for some reason my serial number isn't working and when I access the support portal they said to swap the 'o' with '0'. Although my serial number already has the '0' I tried re-typing it in and still there have been some difficulty accessing it.
