This weekend BestBuy is offering $200 for an ipad 2 or 3 trade in, however I feel this is not worth it for an ipad 3. Seems too low of a trade for an ipad 3, anyone else agree?
 
$200 is starting not for all

It may have been the starting but it didn't scale much. I checked on a 64gb 3rd gen with VZW and they only offered $280 - a pathetic $80 premium over a basic ipad 2 16gb wifi. So while it might have been interesting for someone with a basic ipad 2 - for everyone else it was a non starter.
 
I had an iPad 2, 16GB WiFi just sitting in a closet, so I took it to Best Buy yesterday and was quite happy to get the $200. Walked straight over to the iPod section and got my daughter a 5th gen iPod Touch.

I agree with others that it's a great deal if you have a base model iPad 2 that you want to get rid of, but you get diminishing returns with the iPad 3.
