He mentioned those older Macs lacked recovery partitions and internet recovery features found in later models. You'll need the OS X Leopard DVD, preferably a retail copy. Avoid the grey disk unless it's labeled for your exact Mac model—it's model-specific. You might also build a bootable USB drive, but you'd still require the Leopard DVD to generate it. So essentially, most people got that information for free.
Totower: It looks like that's the case. I checked a few online and found that Snow Leopard was the first to let you download the installer and build standalone media from the store. You might find installation discs elsewhere, especially if you own a Mac—though it’s probably safe to assume this is fine. Apple only sells them for in-store purchase (about $20), but you can order Snow Leopard or similar disks online for upgrades. Your sister's Mac, if it's newer and she’s open to sharing, should be able to create the install media. However, 2GB of RAM might be insufficient for newer OS X versions, so consider upgrading to at least 4GB before selling. If that doesn’t work, you could wipe the drive with another OS and sell the Mac without an OS—just keep in mind it’s mainly for proof of license.

Idk it was never my pc and there's not much on it I guess if you can only get away with having to pay to get it wiped then perhaps it would just be better to sell as is it's not like I would be losing anything or handing anything about myself to the buyer... It really sucks they don't offer a easier way of doing this windows 10 sucks in a lot of ways but atleast you can reset your computer in like 2 minutes lol. Thanks a lot everyone!!!!! Question is the software in MacBooks the same as imacs I think my sisters is an old one too...?
Your 2013 MacBook might not run smoothly yet, so consider checking for RAM updates to improve performance.
OS X doesn't care about the specific computer you use; it works across different hardware. Before Leopard there were PowerPC systems, and afterward it supports various models. Searching for installation guides won’t show you the steps here. Keep in mind, using a newer license like Snow Leopard (or later) isn’t fully compliant unless you have the proper authorization.
What are the terms of this license? Is there a possibility to transfer it, or should we start from scratch?
