Don't tell that to the guy who just paid me $350 for a 64GB.

I think $350 is a fair price. As soon as I dropped it to this price, the inquiries started coming and I sold it in a couple of days! What evidence do you have to support your theory that the "key price point for an iPad Air 2 is below $350...regardless of GB"?
Sorry I told him!

Look at resell history. U will never get back that extra $100 u spent for the 64gb a 16gb iPad Air 2 will still sell for almost the same as ur $350 iPad Air 2 64gb.

The market dictates the resell value. You obviously couldn't sell it for $400. I couldn't sell my iPad Air 2 64gb (wifi also have a wifi plus cellula iPad Air 2 64gb either). But I know full well I can't sell the wifi version for $400. Maybe the cellular version. But I don't bother reselling cause I really don't use my iPad Air 2 anyways these days. My kids do.

Sure u may find that one sucker. But those days are getting harder and harder. iPad resell values aren't what they used to be.

If u want objective evidence what iPad Air 2 64gb resell values are. Go to eBay and look at "sold items". They go from $300-350. Plus around 10% eBay/PayPal fees

Thus $350 is the price point these days

I'd say the best objective evidence is actual sales history too. I saw the inquires start to roll in when I priced the 64GB Wifi for $350 and it sold within a couple of days at pricing it at that level. I don't think that's a "sucker" price, but right around the true current market price. If you want to sell yours on eBay for $300 minus 10% sellers fee go ahead....but I think you'd be short changing yourself.

So you are saying buy a product that has almost unusable 16GB over 64GB because of a resale value? Why buy one at all then?

Happens all the time. People look for the lowest price point.

You get back 25-30 dollars on the extra $100 you spent

What the best selling model? The lowest price model which happens to be the lowest GB MODEL.

Of course Apple knows they can't get away with 16gb anymore. That's why the base iPad Pro starts at 32gb. And typical apple leaves out the 64gb model now.
