An insightful observation, and perhaps related to one I've made before:

Isn't it odd that most companies who accept trade-ins for smart phones or computers don't generally offer more for models with more drive space or more RAM? And yet, that same used device sold by the same retailer still has significant price increases for the higher specced products.

Profiteering at it's best. (Or worst?)

Generally it’s not advisable to get anything other than the base spec model, for every RAM or Storage upgrade you do as a BTO it will amount to 1/3 or that specific upgrade cost towards retail. Some offer close to 50% but it’s rare it’s usually between 25-50% in the wild.
Well, you still have to actually use the thing. A base model might retain a disproportionate amount of resale value, but that does you a fat lot of good if you're running out of drive space or can't run a demanding application well for lack of RAM.

When I was getting ready to upgrade my M1 iMac (with 1 TB storage), they were offering like $250 or some such nonsense. I sold it on eBay for like 3x as much. It was very clean, under AppleCare and had all the original accessories which helped.

You do have to be careful selling on platforms like that, but it can really pay off vs. taking some of the absurd valuations they sometimes offer.

Weirdly, Apple seems to offer much better trade-in values on laptops, but with iMacs at least, they really lowball it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
