Apple MacBook Pro 13" Retina 2014 - i7, 8GB, 500GB SSD - Boxed, good condition, minor issues

Description

Selling my MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina, Mid 2014 with premium specs - no longer needed after upgrading to Mac Mini. Owned from new and well looked after.
Specifications:

Processor: 3 GHz Intel Core i7 (higher spec than most 2014 models)
Memory: 8GB DDR3 RAM
Storage: 500GB SSD (twice the size of standard models from this era)
Graphics: Intel Iris 1536MB
Display: 13" Retina Display
OS: Fresh install of macOS Big Sur (latest supported version)
Serial: C02P5012G3QL
Battery: Only 169 cycles, Condition: Normal (used primarily plugged in as desktop replacement)

Condition:

Good overall cosmetic condition, owned from new
Battery in excellent condition - only 169 cycles as laptop was used mainly as a desktop while plugged in
All original packaging and box included
Fresh install ready for new owner

Why this is good value:

Premium i7 processor (most 2014 models have i5)
Large 500GB SSD (typical models have 128GB or 256GB)
Exceptionally low battery cycles for age
Original Apple packaging
One owner from new

Two minor issues - both can be lived with:

Trackpad not working - hence the reduced price. Works perfectly with external mouse (wired USB mouse needed for initial setup before Bluetooth drivers are installed, then any USB or Bluetooth mouse works fine). Perfect for desktop use or anyone who prefers a mouse anyway.
Minor screen coating wear ("Staingate") - common issue on 2014-2015 MacBooks where anti-reflective coating wears away, mainly around edges with small area in center. Barely noticeable during normal use, especially with screen content displayed. Does not affect display quality or functionality. Can be completely removed with household vinegar if desired (removes coating entirely, leaving glossy screen).

Price reflects both issues. Everything else works brilliantly - been my reliable daily driver for years!
