Best Places to Trade in Your iPad 1G for Cash

With the arrival of the new iPad 2 flashing in the near future, you might find yourself wondering what you're going to do with your old iPad (iPad 1G). It's seems dumb to hang on to it and you would obviously rather have the iPad 2 with cameras and all the other new features. The best option for getting rid of your old iPad it to trade it in. There are a lot of companies that will buy your old iPad from you (some give you case and others will give you a credit at their store), but there are particular companies that will pay you more than others for the same device!

Don't make the mistake of trading your iPad into a company that is only willing to give you pennies on the dollar. Take a look at this list of companies that will give you the money you deserve for your iPad trade in.

1. eBay's Instant Sale Program

eBay's Instant Sale program is currently the best way to trade in your iPad, especially if it is in excellent condition. You are probably wondering, "What kind of money can I really get for my iPad 1G?" The amount of money your will get for trading in your iPad depends on three factors, when it comes to eBay's program: iPad model, storage capacity and condition, of course. You can expect to get about $442 for a 16 GB, iPad Wi-Fi 3G in excellent condition. eBay seems to be the best place to trade in your iPad because they send your payment directly to your PayPal account, which is basically cash.

2. Power Max

Power Max is a company that allows you to trade your iPad in for a Power Max store credit. This is not as bad as it sounds because Power Max actually sells iPad devices. This means that you can use the money from your iPad trade in to purchase a portion of the new iPad 2.

3. Gazelle.com

Gazelle.com is a company that buys all types of electronics from consumers. It is a very popular site among consumers, but not the best place to trade in your iPad. The same iPad that eBay will buy (a 16 GB, iPad Wi-Fi + 3G in excellent condition) for $442, Gazelle will only offer you $338 for. Gazelle pays for electronics by one of the methods (your choice): Check, PayPal, Walmart Prepaid Visa or Amazon.com? gift card.
