I've just replaced my iPad mini and plan to sell on eBay. I'm amazed that they fetch the price they do. I consider it to almost unusable (running ios9) and can't imagine people being happy with their purchase. I wonder if the prices are driven up by people who just think that an iPad is an iPad. I don't want the hassle of dealing with complaints. Any thoughts?
Got a tip for us?

I've upgrade my daughter's iPad Mini (1st gen) to iOS 9 - not found it unusable myself - maybe others are just as happy with it
What's "unusable" to some is perfectly fine to others. For many people owning an iPad of any kind is quite a luxury. Haven't you ever heard the saying, "one man's trash is another man's treasure"?
I'm glad I'm not the only one to stress about stuff like that. I guess we're not cut out for hard sales work. I'm sure JoeBlow's right. I'll have to fight the urge to say "it's a bit rubbish really" in the listing.
Definitely, you are not. I always worry about people who get a sudden case of buyer's remorse. However, other than a few outright thieves I've run across over the last 17 years on eBay, most people follow through and, frankly, an awful lot of eBay buyers really don't take the time to educate themselves (which is too bad).
Thought I'd revisit this. I sold the iPad on ebay and the buyer was happy with their purchase. I guess joeblow7777 is right! After all fees and costs I ended up with £120.
