Your iPad 2 Trade-In Guide

It’s almost time for the iPad 3 to arrive. As such, it might be time to consider trading-in your iPad 2. How much is your tablet worth? That depends on the service you use and whether your iPad is Wi-Fi only or includes 3G connectivity. While you can certainly try your chances on eBay and Craig's List and get more money, we recommend using one of the following online services to sell you tablet: Gazelle, Amazon or Nextworth. Please note: These prices are for those iDevices with normal wear and tear. Plus, all assume the iPad is free of water damage and comes with its original cables and AC adapter. Prices are the same for black or white models. You may get more or less than the price quoted. Gazelle One of the first “get cash for my iDevice” solutions, Gazelle has been around awhile now and comes highly recommended. In addition, the site now offers three ways to receive your cash: through check, Paypal, or through an Amazon.com Gift Card. If you choose Amazon, you’ll receive 5 percent more than the quoted price.
