iPad Are you buying a new iPad this fall, when are you selling?

The few months I went with an iPad last year were killer! I use it for everything....more than my iPhone.
I'll sell at the last possible minute, but BEFORE release. This time around, I'll still have an iPad Air to keep me company.
... Probably will not upgrade <famous last words>
I am hoping to sell this retina Mini to a coworker for a better price than elsewhere (while still giving him a nice discount), but if not I'll just trade it in or seller for cheaper to have some funds for a bigger iPhone.

I have the strong feeling you will fall for the new rMini. I read a lot of your posts and - yeah - have that feeling you won't be able to resist. Me neither. I can live with a iPhone 4 and a MBP 13 '09 but as the iPad is my most used device it can't be powerful enough. I will upgrade.
I don't doubt that I will want it, however, having a new baby puts a bit of a limit on spending.
unless iOS 8 absolutely needs 2gb ram to run smoothly on the rMini (yeah right) I'm gonna keep this for awhile. I'll be updating to the iPhone 6 ASAP though
I really like your thinking. That's the way I'm planning on going.

I will likely do the same depending on the features, price, etc.

Yup, same here.
If the air 2 has 2 gigs of ram, I will try my darnedest to unload this safari tab reloading anchor of a user experience Air I have now.
I sold ipad 1 32gb cellular ($729) (purchased launch day) in December 2010 for $580 (6 months of use)
I sold ipad 2 64gb wifi only ($699) purchased launch day in March 2014 for $400 (2 years of use)
I haven't sold ipad 3 64gb LTE ($829) model purchased launch day
I sold ipad 4 (purchased launch day) 64gb ($640 from target promo) wifi for $540 in GameStop/amazon gift card credits
I currently own 2 iPad Air wifi models 32 and 64gb (purchased with $100 target gift card promo)
Not sure when I will sell iPad Air this time. Frankly I was going to keep the ipad 4. But GameStop had such a great trade in promo late November 2013 that I took advantage of it.
Ipad resell market is so saturated. Honestly. Unless you strictly buy the 16gb base wifi model you aren't going to get great resell value these days. Maybe those who got the $100 gift card promo Black Friday will see the best cost basis resell value.
I will just wait and see what the iPad Air has. I can use my hospital academic book fund to get it for "free" if I wanted another one. So no hurry to resell iPad Air. May look for some fair resell value to trade in ipad 3 LTE. Can't fantom using ipad 3 LTE in 2015. I only use it for trips since I have unlimited LTE verizon data and I can tether off it. But will wait for sales on newer LTE iPad Air 2 when they run promos

i sold my 32gb wifi ipad mini 1st gen on craigslist. I may sell again on craigslist. if not ebay.. although i HATE selling on ebay cuz of the fees.
How much do you think I should sell mine for?
i have exact the same as yours.. 32gb wifi rMini. we paid about $525.. so I'll sell mines for around $400-425 no less or so
Yes! That's what I was thinking. Do you think I should sell it and get an iPad Mini 3 with Touch ID, better camera and A8 processor?
oh buddy, I'm the wrong person to ask because i'll say yes LOL. i love buying new ipads and iphones. touchID itself is gonna get beefed up with app integration so its going to be more functional than ever.
