[iPad] Cost of iPad, 1st gen, 16gb, wifi?

Titus Bawlsac · Jan 25, 2013, 02:29 PM

Greetings, getting ready to sell my old iPad and was wondering if anyone had an idea of the cost. Costs are all over the board for similar items on ebay.

1st generation iPad.
16gb.
wifi only.
Great condition. Rarely left it's leather case, never dropped, treated very kindly.
Is engraved on the back.
Leather(ette?) case does come with it.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Thanks.

120-150 at this point. Ipad 2s are going for mid 200s now.

racer1441 · Jan 25, 2013, 03:38 PM

No more than $100.

AdrianT · Jan 25, 2013, 04:56 PM

Yea 120-150 is about right. If not, you can always go the instant sale route on ebay or something. Right now its $112.

I just checked craigslist (in SF) there are a couple of ipad 2's list for less than 200.

I couldn't imagine the ipad 1 running you more than 80-100 MAX.

Out of curiosity, what does the engraving on the back say? Could definitely affect the price...

Give it to somebody as a present. It will make you feel better.

If ipad2's are going for under 200 then I wouldn't pay more than 100.

An ipad1 will be 2 to 3 years old and depending how much it has been used,the battery may need replacement in the near future.That is going to cost 100.

Buying technology is the worst investment possible.Don't expect tablets to hold much value beyond 2 years.

$100-$150 if it hasn't got any engravings.

guitarmandp · Jan 26, 2013, 06:51 AM

WOW, I think I got close to $500 when I sold my original iPad a year and a half ago. Mine was the 64 gig wifi model.

cruzmisl · Jan 26, 2013, 12:18 PM

16 and 64 aren't really comparable. A 64gb is still great for traveling.

Plus a lot changes in a year and a half nowadays.

That right there will kill resale value.

Like others have said, you're looking at about $120.

Yeah whats the engraving say? That really does kill the value of it.
