If you'd rather not deal with the hassles of flakey Craigslist and eBay buyers, you can easily send in your old iPad to Gazelle for a considerable trade-in value. The recommerce site is offering the follow prices for each current iPad model:
- Apple iPad 16GB WiFi: $375
- Apple iPad 16GB WiFi+3G: $446
- Apple iPad 32GB WiFi: $437
- Apple iPad 32GB WiFi+3G: $522
- Apple iPad 64GB WiFi: $463
- Apple iPad 64GB WiFi+3G: $595
Offers can be locked in for 30 days, which leaves you with enough time to wait for your new white iPad 2 (this editor wants one!) to ship beginning March 11. These trade-in rates are only good through Saturday, March 5, so if you're really gung-ho about trading up, act fast.
[Update] Gazelle has announced that because of Apple's own price reductions ($399 for a first-generation iPad) and trade-in volume, the site is not offering the same pricing plans it promised this morning. If you're locked in already you're safe, but if you haven't done so you might be better off selling it somewhere else. Maybe set up a table outside your local grocery store next to the Girl Scouts selling their cookies?

Hey guys, we updated the article to reflect the changes on Gazelle's site! They are revoking their offers from this morning. It's a shame, too!

Yeah, I just checked and $452 for my 3G 64 GB in perfect condition... I think we're late to the party.

Where did you get those prices? They are offering me $283 for my perfect 16gb Wifi.

Are you sure these are locked in through 3/5? Gazelle's only offering me $329 for a 64G WiFi.
