Old ipads

[Lonewolf]

I have two old ipads, both don't hold a charge for very long so, my thinking is to sell them. Which is the best way of getting some cash?

Thanks

To sell them.

Yes, but which website is tried and trusted?

 

[Lonewolf]

OP I'd recommend the members market on here if you have access.

I doubt they'd be much use to anyone because the charge doesn't last very long.

 

[Lonewolf]

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?

 

[Lonewolf]

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.

64Gb IPad 3 in perfect condition paid £55 gift card.

 

[Lonewolf]

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.

 

[Lonewolf]

Phew, so it was just the slow post. Next time, I'd take it to the Post Office to get proof of postage though.

Agreed
