Thanks for posting the thread! Otherwise it may have spent the rest of its days sitting on my desk and collecting dust!
Meet at a bank and Have them take out money from atm or teller in front of you. That's what I do.
Guess it's time to unload my iPad 2. $100 is enough to get me the Apple Pencil for my new 12.9" Pro!
Two people wrote me today saying they are interested in purchasing the iPad..so will see what happens, one said they wanted it for 350 while the other said 360 so whoever is willing to meet up on Thursday/Friday that is the one I will go with. Since the iPad case I have is pink makes more sense to give it to the girl who says she wants it but will see what happens. Will be meeting her next to the movie theater at the mall I go to, I know people working inside so they can actually verify the money is legit before she leaves thats probably the best bet
I got an offer last night at midnight for $350... Wonder if it's the same offer you got. Name was Daisy.
Yes same girl..I texted her and she said that she will let me know(I Can only meet up on Friday) holy cow what are the odds that it was the same person..guess this shows that this person is really interested in getting an iPad. Figured I would have a better chance in selling this iPad to a girl since the case that I have is pink
Seeing this thread about trading in your old iPad at Best Buy, remained me that Apple also has a recycle program for iPhones. I checked and they give credit for iPads too. For my Air 2 with cellular, Apple's credit was $6 more than BB. Not much difference but at least they are comparable. Older iPad maybe less than the $100 minimum BB is offering however. Personally, I'd rather purchase my Apple products directly from Apple and trade-in transaction can be done in one of their retail stores. Has anybody here used Apples program?
Here is the Apple link.

It's also worth noting, the Apple quote is more than the quotes from Gazzele and Amazon, which surprised me. I used to sell my old devices on Craigslist, but have since given that up.

Also... to be clear... you can get this offer regardless of whether you order an iPad Pro or not. They do, however, limit you to one trade-in that invokes the $100 minimum.
So anybody holding on to an old iPad should do this.... you can do this and get a Mini 2, or iPhone accessories, or a printer if you want.
I had an iPad Mini 1st gen, and an iPad 3. I traded in the Mini under the $100 minimum, and the iPad 3 and got $94.
So I am now sitting on $194 worth of Best Buy Gift cards.
My plan is to buy an Apple Pencil, clear rear shell and Smart Cover with those (should pay for most of it anyway.)
Then, I'll buy the 9.7 Pro and Apple Care once I can play with one hands-on first.
