I just thought of an idea.. Its not the nicest thing to do, but:

To save money and keep up with the upgrade process, do you think I would get away with this idea?

I would buy an iPad 2, sell it 2 weeks before the iPad 3 announcement for full retail price, once sold, buy the iPad 2 again and continue using it but return it before the 30 day return policy ends, then buy the iPad 3 and repeat the process?

And why will anyone pay you full retail price for an item that has been used for one year when they can just go to an apple store and get it new for the same price?


Oh yeah, I have an iPad that I would love to sale to you, and I will give you a deal since the iPad 2 was announced... How does $800 for an 64gb, 3G iPad sounds?

There are many, many problems with your master plan.

Put in a few hours of o/t at work and just buy the thing outright.

Or buy iPad 2, when iPad 3 is announced sell it for 75% of what you paid for it, buy iPad 3 and repeat.
