iPad 2 upgraders - what did it cost you?

Sold my iPad 2 Wifi 64gb White for $600 including black leather smartcover.

Pre-ordered iPad 3 LTE White, $829 and new navy leather smart cover.

$299 upgrade cost. Expensive honestly. I convinced myself to get LTE version though due to hearing about the hotspot being usable with no extra cost for Verizon.
 
Sold my 32GB iPad 2 wifi with grey smart cover and grey back cover for $550 cash on CL on Feb 26th (day before Best Buy dropped the price by $50!!)

iPad 2 investment (w/covers & tax) = $725

Assuming I purchased the equivalent setup my upgrade fee would be $125 out the door. iPad 2 would have cost me $10/month rental

Naturally I supersized to the 64GB LTE. I'm out $355. Doh!
 
$231.06 to upgrade from 32GB to 32GB. Could've saved money if I kept my old smart cover, but I wanted to get the new dark gray anyways.
 
iPad 2 WiFi 16GB (no taxes) $499
Had it since launch day
Sold last month to NextWorth for $386.50
=$112.5 total upgrade cost
or $9.37 a month
I think it's absolutely amazing! Totally worth it!
 
Sold my iPad 2 16 GB wifi for $350 about a month ago. Put it up on Facebook and it sold in 15 minutes. Most of my Facebook friends were smart enough to know that I could only get $280 for it on Gazelle at the time, so considering that, I got ok money for it.

Preordered 32 GB wifi for 599. So my new one only cost me $250.
 
Well not much.

I sold 1 kidney, then later a piece of my brain, then another kidney!
 
Sold my 64 GB Verizon iPad 2 for $720. I think I got a good price.

Bought 64 GB Verizon iPad 3 for $885

So had to add $165 for the new iPad--not bad--it was the tax that really added to the final cost.
 
Thanks to the robust profits my well aged Apple stock has yielded, it more than covers the costs of anything Apple I buy. Two decades ago I would have never guessed how much it would be worth today. Good thing I didn't listen to my broker and sell it when Apple was down. At the time it felt like gambling, now it's just mind boggling.
 
Sold my White iPad 2 (16Gb WiFi only) $400
Bought White 16Gb WiFi only $543
Total cost: $143

Btw fun info: The iPad news announcement ended around 2PM Central time
I sold my iPad to someone off Craigslist at around 4:15 PM that day.
No one really knew about the new iPad (average consumer) until 5 PM news. :D
 
Not selling iPad 2
So new 64GB WiFi cost me $685 epp pricing and $99 AppleCare+ total= 836.92
 
I got $350 cash for my iPad 2 16GB Wi-Fi the day before the announcement, and then I preordered a "new" iPad 16GB Wi-Fi right after the announcement for $500 + tax.

So my upgrade cost was a little more than $150.
