So, if I bought several iPad 3's at launch, what kind of resale value profit might I be looking at?
 
If they only launch in the United States first, you'll be able to sell them for a small fortune on eBay to other countries. But you can only buy two from Apple.
 
They would be brand new, in package.

Example: I buy three iPad 3's and sell them on Ebay or Craigslist. What kind of mark up would I be able to have on the original price since the demand was so high?

That is very good to know. Domestically what kind of profit would I be looking at?

I don't know about the US, I'm afraid. I'm unsure of supply, and Apple may be better prepared for this generation. I do know the original 16GB iPads were selling for upwards of £1000 on our eBay site in the UK, prior to their international release, which is $1582 dollars.
 
I also am buying to go many of your ipads and take to Motherland CCCP to sell for many many roubles, I will become most rich yah?

Ones day i will be ruling the world!

So what is the current value in the US for an apple iPad 3? I am interested in getting one when Apple releases it! Thanks!
 
will the new retina display and camera and chip increase the starting price of $499 for the ipad 3? what do you guys speculate? i think i'll buy a few ipad 3 myself to resell on ebay

The starting price isn't what this thread is about.
 
Haha...

Its only the first editions of products that can sell for premium $ ... This iPad will come to europe within 14 days of the US release, - So yes, maybe 1-2 idiots are dumb enought to import some pads from the US, but many "hamsters" has the same idear as you, so good luck with that masterplan :p
