fordan posted:Those were the initial places I looked, but but Craigslist around here is still about $100 under that for newer iPads (although without 3G). And the ads you see are what people are asking, not necessarily getting. Ebay auctions with bids say probably $250-$300 top, vs $205 from Gazelle and $220-$240 for Amazon. The first one I see on eBay when I look for an ATT iPad 2 64GB is one that is going for $325 with 89 bids. So I think a CL listing for $350-400 would get you some serious offers depending on what kind of shape it is in and if you threw in any cases or accessories. It certainly is more than what you were claiming, which is that you couldn't find anyplace offering "even half" of what M2S showed. As I said, it is a good general guide. I use it for when I want a quick price check and haven't had any serious problems with the price it shows. YMMV.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:Mac2Sell is garbage and is in no way based on reality. Seriously. Just look on eBay and sort by sold listings only. I've found that you can usually beat eBay's average selling prices by maybe $50-75 on Craigslist if you're incredibly patient and willing to tell people that want to haggle to gently caress off.

Will Apple continue to sell the 4th gen iPad new on their site once the new one goes up? If so, based on past releases, do we have any idea what the price may be? My iPad 3 is still hanging in there, mostly because I only surf and read comics/kindle books on it but a $300 upgrade would be worth it just to get all of my devices back on the same charging cables.

No one will know for sure until the new one launches. It's probable return iPad 4s will have a low price, although if you're looking for a low difference def sell your iPad to make up the difference.

Has Apple officially announced the Oct 22 date, or is it still just a rumor from the (admittedly usually reliable) AllThingsD? Seems like the press invites should have gone out by now given it's 8 days out.

I think a week out is when they usually send the invitations, or at least that's how it was last month for the iPhone.

Went to visit my parents this weekend, and my mom showed me her brand-spanking-new 64 gig iPad mini she'd just purchased.  She did the exact same thing a year ago when she got her 4S a couple weeks before the 5.I'm the acknowledged gadget nerd in the family, I don't know why they don't just check with me before making these purchases.

She might have gotten a discount? I hope you didn't ruin it for her with the expected goon response of "drat it Mom, you are dumb! The next version is coming out on Oct 22!". If you want to be a good son, why not try and sell that poo poo and buy her the new iPad Mini2 when it comes out?

Nah, I kept my mouth shut when she showed me but mentioned it in passing to my dad. She's not exactly a power user anyway. It's just kind of amusing it happened two years in a row.

They still sell iPad 2's for that reason.

I love my 5th gen iPod Touch. 32gigs holds nearly all my music and the battery lasts forever. I guess not many people have an iPhone dedicated for apps/phone calls and an iPod just for music though. But yeah I carry both every day.

The touch is also there for people who don't want/can't have an iPhone with a contract that they pay $50+ a month for. You guys keep forgetting there's millions of people not like you out there.

Wario In Real Life posted:Is it even really possible to get a new phone without having to pay a $30-50 data contract? I kind of figured they'd just about transitioned most people onto data contracts by now. You just buy a burner and use the iPod Touch as a wifi-only iPhone. They're fantastic little devices, slimmer and nicer than the iPhone at a fraction of the price. $209 for the 16gb, $279 for the 32gb. Personally I'm making the switch to the iPhone 5s because my new job increased my income enough that I can justify the purchase, but for someone on a tight budget iPod Touch plus a cheap flip phone is an excellent option. The iPad Mini isn't really a competitor to the Touch any more than the full sized iPad was. Neither device is pocketable unless you wear comically huge jorts or something.

The current iPod Touch is a strange beast indeed. I'm honestly curious to see sales numbers on it just because it's such an interesting case. When the new ones were first announced I was excited to purchase one as a Christmas gift for my GF but the price tag was pretty steep and she just ended up getting her own iPhone a few months later anyway.

Wario In Real Life posted:The Mini fills the "media consumption device parents buy for their tweens" role. Entirely anecdotal, but if the kids my nieces and nephew associate with are any indication the iPod Touch blows the iPad Mini away in that category. I've never seen an iPad Mini in the wild, but every kid under 16 seems to have an iPod Touch. Could just be that the Mini is newer and hasn't had enough time to replace old devices, I see a lot more 4th gen iPods than 5th gen ones.

I pay $25 a month for a cheap-rear end Android phone on Virgin Mobile that I barely use and carry around a 64gb iPod Touch for a great camera, HD recording, games, and web-stuff when on WiFi. I'm the market for the Touch. And I don't want to invest in jorts for a Mini when I have a full-sized iPad at home.
