As Apple prepares to release the new iPad, owners of older-generation iPads are looking to sell theirs back and upgrade. Several online retailers offer buy-back programs, but keep in mind that retailers are only buying back models that are in near-perfect condition, and the following prices reflect the maximum you should expect to get.
Amazon
$320 for 16GB ($385 for 3G)
$375 for 32GB ($410 for 3G)
$445 for 64GB ($500 for 3G)
eBay
$290 for 16GB ($355 for 3G)
$340 for 32GB ($380 for 3G)
$420 for 64GB ($475 for 3G)
GameStop
$250 for 16GB ($300 for 3G)
$300 for 32GB ($350 for 3G)
$340 for 64GB ($400 for 3G)
*Verizon models receive an average of $50 less than AT&T models, and if you want cash for your iPad 2, you'll get up to 20% less.
Best Buy
$200 for 16GB ($245 for 3G)
$240 for 32GB ($265 for 3G)
$270 for 64GB ($315 for 3G)
Gazelle
$185 for 16GB ($230 for 3G)
$225 for 32GB ($250 for 3G)
$255 for 64GB ($300 for 3G)
Each buy-back program has its pluses and minuses, but Amazon seems to give the best value if you're OK with just getting store credit. Just remember that Amazon probably will not sell the new iPad, so this isn't the best route if you're looking to trade in models. If you're set on getting cold, hard cash, eBay is the way to go.
