To sell them.
Yes, but which website is tried and trusted?

Only place I would sell anything over 100 is the MM here. Maybe try Facebook Market place? or maybe go trade em in at somewhere like CEX. Depends how old they are. Or maybe clean them up n just give them away?
You can't do much on old kit any more. Tried it with an iPad 2, was extremely slow, wouldn't take latest ipadOS, things never loaded and it was reset a number of times so I just give it away.
But read the rules first. Then read them again. And a third time, just to be sure they’ve sunk in.
OP I'd recommend the members market on here if you have access.

and if they haven't sunk in just post what you feel and if you get lucky you might get a mini ocuk holiday. Then on your return read them again, post again and if you are lucky this time you might get another ocuk holiday. Then on your ret..... never mind.

I doubt they'd be much use to anyone because the charge doesn't last very long.
Apple will let you trade them in against a new iPad. Given that they do not hold charge they'll give you a far better price than elsewhere.
Estimated £190. Maybe not an ipad but a watch perhaps. Thanks
Decided to use Brightstar to recycle an ipad.
Received the box for posting and details to delete everything before sending off. Now, this is where I might have dropped a clanger. I just dropped the boxed ipad into a postbox because it had an address label, assumed it was postage paid.
It's now a week later and Brightstar have not received the ipad.
Have I gone about this wrong?

Quite possibly, if it's like the couple of times I've sent something to them as part of a trade-in, I've had to take it to the Post Office and get it scanned in. It normally arrives within two days but remember that the postal system has high delays at the moment.
Received an email to say the ipad has now been checked and the quoted amount to be paid in full. I'll send the second pad after the New Year.

sweet! how much you get for it, old apple devices are naff once apple drops support. You can't do much with them which is annoying.
I wouldn't be putting any electrical type items into a postbox in case it gets lost, not sure how much cash you are getting for these ipads but if it went missing you wouldn't have any proof of postage or compensation claim I expect.
64Gb IPad 3 in perfect condition paid £55 gift card.

If you wanted to turn that into cash just sell the gift card for a little less.
It was a consideration, wasn't sure if transferable.
Phew, so it was just the slow post. Next time, I'd take it to the Post Office to get proof of postage though.
