The sales tax here in Montreal is quite high (15%), so if I bought the 64GB iPad from Apple it would have cost me $805 after tax. I found someone selling it in a sealed box for $650 on craigslist, so I called him and said I was interested. He agreed to meet me right away.
I checked the model number for the iPad 3 and 4 online (1416 vs 1458) so that I can verify the iPad from the box sticker. I met the guy, checked the box, everything looked in order. 64GB 1458. Then I removed the shrink wrap, and tested the iPad. It fired up right away, but I could not complete the setup because there was no WiFi (gas station.)
After taking it home, I set it up, and verified that it does indeed have 64GB of storage (was worried about this the most.) I just finished moving my data and apps to it, and it's running flawlessly.
Is there anything I should look for? Anything I should test? And why do you think he sold it at a loss like that? When I asked him, he just said it's business.
If I manage to sell my 64GB iPad 3 for $600 (which is reasonable I think) this upgrade will have cost me 50 bucks.
