How much your iPad is worth depends directly on the following information:
So if you're thinking of selling and wondering how much you can trade in my iPad for, you should first make sure you know what model, generation and storage capacity it is, we have a guide here:
Find out how to identify my iPadThen, remove any protective casing and have a look around the tablet for cosmetic damage, for example, excessive scratches, chips in the frame and cracks in the screen. If it's visually ok and you know there aren't any issues with the software or hardware (e.g., it turns on, charges and works fine), you know you can sell your iPad as a used or good condition. If your device is not functioning well or has a lot of visual damage, you can always trade it in as 'broken.'
If you want to know how much a used iPad is worth, e.g., a tablet that has no visible damage and works fine then simply select the 'Good' condition on the product page. However, it's worth noting that they can tell during testing if you're trying to sell a water damaged iPad. You can still get money for these devices, but selling a water damage iPads do not fall under the used or good condition pricing (so select broken!)
You can't sell blacklisted iPads too, so these are iPads with outstanding credit, reported as lost or stolen. Use the search above to find out how much you can sell your iPad for.
Apple has a trade-in solution called the Apple GiveBack program; this is a solution that lets owners of iPads, iPhones, and Macs to swap their old device for store credit to use in their retail shops. It's worth mentioning right off the bat that Apple GiveBack is branded as Apple but is actually run by Brightstar, a global company in the cell phone market.
