If you preordered an extra?

Sell it. Gave wife iPad 2

I ordered an extra for my sister. I wish I ordered more to sell now that it's 2-3 week wait.

Which option is preferred, eBay or CL?

 

Sounds like she's a lucky woman

 

yep I'm selling my extra 16GB white wifi for 650- gave the GF the iPad 2

 

CL. with ebay you have to worry about eBay fees, paypal fees, shipping fees. the list can go on and on and on.

 

I bought 2 64GB 4Gs. Going to wait a week or so for the inevitable shortage frenzy and sell the extra for around $1,400 or so. They are already selling for as much as $1,300 on eBay and the thing hasn't even been released yet!

Now that the reviews are out and especially once this weekend is over, this is going to be one of the hottest selling and must have tech items ever. They will be incredibly hard to find.

 

I got 4 coming in.. One for me, 3 for friends who flaked out!!.. So, will wait a week - 10 days, and if they still don't want it, I'll hand'em over to my brother to CL it. I don't have time for this, so as long as he gives me the principal, the profit is his to keep!

 

Do you have any links for that? I've gone through eBay, but a lot of them are not really successful.

You can buy a 16GB Wifi model for $620

64GB LTE AT&T for $1085

Most auctions for the 16GB Wifi model are not going that high at all...

 

How did you manage to get 4 when 2 is the limit?

I bought a 32GB LTE and a 64GB LTE. I changed my mind on the 32 and want to move it up to a 64GB LTE, and I placed an order, but they cancelled it and said I already bought 2. ;(

 

Both have their pros/cons.

eBay:

P: Secure payment, paper trail, better chance for higher sell price due to greater exposure (though, since everyone is doing it, it's tougher)
C: eBay and PayPal fees, paper trail, if something goes awry eBay usually favors the buyer (always use tracking info and signature delivery for high price stuff like this).

Craigslist:

P: Pay with cash, no fees, usually immediate, safe if you meet in a public place (starbucks, mcdonalds, apple store (lol))
C: Low ballers, no shows, chances to get mugged, deal with spammers and idiots.

 

Separate CCs, with separate billing/shipping addys.

 

You can do presale on eBay?

 

Ordered six for work colleagues. I prefer my sales people to look bleeding edge and can't wait to show them off to clients running our HD renders.

 

You may just want to return it or wait till launch day to least it on ebay. I just looked on ebay, and most of them are selling close to what it would cost to get it in the store.

 

Thats where Buy It Now is helpful; you can force immediate payment else it doesn't sell. Downside is people don't get invested like they do when they start bidding on an auction when it's $300 and then make irrational choices in late stage bidding.

 

I'm unsure what to do. I ordered a 64GB 4G AT&T model as soon as the store went up last week, but decided that a Verizon model would be a better choice. I ordered that the next day.

So, obviously, I have two coming to my house tomorrow and I intend to keep the Verizon model. I was originally going to just return the AT&T version, but if someone is willing to pay a little more for it, I'd sell it to them. I paid around ~$900 with tax for the iPad, so $1k'ish or so.

I also don't really want to hassle with it, so just may return for a full refund at a local Apple store.

 

Which models? I could take one off of your hands.

 

Selling my extra one to a friend for actual cost...because that's how I roll and I believe in karma...
