i just sold my 16GB WIFI iPad 2 for £390
£10 under the RRP here in London.
iPad 3 .. come to me baby!
Impressive! Especially as you can buy a refurb for £339!
I would try to sell it...you might be able to make a profit!

I forgot about the possibility of early delivery...maybe I will preorder.
What do you guys think are the chances that the smart cover will fit on the iPad 3?
I'm wondering whether I should just give it away with my iPad 2 sale. It works fine and will save me $40 when the iPad 3 comes out but if it isn't compatible, I'll be stuck with a Smart Cover which has ugly black smudges (design flaw imo) and probably won't hold much resale value.

Yours has black smudges too? I would think it would work with the new iPad. It's hard to imagine why it shouldn't if there isn't a radical change in design, and all indications so far are that there isn't. In retrospect, the nicest change in the iPad 2 was the addition of the Smart Cover. I would be disappointed if they abandoned it, unless of course they thought of something even better.
I have black marks on the metal hinges, along the inside bar that makes contact with the iPad (I think it's rubber?), and on the inside of the cover itself. I complained and the Genius exchanged mine at the Apple Store but the same exact marks appeared on the new one. It doesn't scratch the iPad and is a purely aesthetic issue but it'd be nice if Apple figures out what's causing it so they can fix it. Despite all that, the Smart Cover is awesome and it's funny to say, because it's true, that it was one of the best things about the iPad 2.
The rumors say the iPad 3 may be a bit more tapered than the iPad 2. I'll bet the old Smart Cover will fit, but I'm expecting minor differences like how new cases had to be made for the Verizon iPhone 4. They definitely won't abandon the SC but there may be tweaked Smart Cover released with the iPad 3.
Sold my iPad 2 16GB Wifi for $386.50 on Nextworth. Gazelle was paying like over $100 less than Nextworth so I was nervous. And I googled Nextworth and heard they scammed people before 
My iPad was just inspected today and said approved so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I didn't want to have to deal with the eBay/ other hassles that come with selling directly.

Sold my 32gb for $450.
What will make me super happy is if Apple upgrades the memory for the base model to 32gb (and maybe continues to sell the iPad 2 at 16gb for $400). That means I only have to pay $50 to upgrade after a year of having the iPad 2 instead of $150.

Ugh, good job. I've never sold an Apple product on CL, especially so close to their next event. I was aiming for $500 for my 32gb but I came across so many lowballers and people who waste your time. Worst experience on CL. I'm glad I found a legit guy to buy my iPad2 for $450 (though I'll admit I felt bad because he's going to feel silly in a couple weeks when the iPad 3 comes out).
That is the downside of CL. I give out a Google Voice # and tell them to text or call and leave a message. Tends to cut down on the lowballers who email everyone.
I feel you man. I had so many low ballers it was ridiculous. I had a offer for $250.00 for the 32gb ipad and I also had someone asking to trade there ps3 for the 32gb model. took less than 24 hours to sell but it was annoying reading threw 20 emails of low balling until I found a legit buyer.
Just sold my 1st gen 16gb wifi for $345
money is already in my savings account
gotta love the people on ebay who have no clue

I got a lot of emails saying "i'm interested, call or text me at xxx-xxx-xxxx". Then I text them and they lowball me after asking which ad I was because they just email every iPad post and don't know who's who. For as many of us that sell our Apple product right before a refresh, there's just as many people trying to get a lowball offer from a desperate seller.
$345 is a hell of a deal. How great is it that an Apple product only lost 30% of it's value after 2 years?

Well, that's why they say there's a sucker born every minute....
Didn't get any lowballers but got a few of the old "Oh, I am out of state but want you to ship it over and I'll pay." And my favorite, the I will send you a check for more than you are asking to ship it to me" even though my CL post clearly stated local only. I guess that's just the stuff you've gotta deal with...I did get a legit buyer within 24 hrs of the post though.
Yep, always gonna get the lowballers. Same thing if you're selling a car or motorcycle or boat. It's probably happened for so long as people have sold stuff through classified ads.
All you need to do is find the one buyer willing to pay your price.
