If you’re an iPad 3 owner still smarting from Apple’s surprise announcement of the iPad 4, we’ve got some great news for you. Despite rumors to the contrary, your “new” iPad is still valuable on the secondary market.
Among eBay, Gazelle, Amazon, NextWorth, and even Apple, we’re seeing some incredible offers. In particular, Amazon is offering the best trade-in values among the four.

We didn’t originally include NextWorth on our list of companies. We include it now because many of our readers have been asking for it.

We trust each of these companies and our advice is to select the vendor that offers the best trade-in value for you. Keep in mind, with the exception of eBay, the prices quoted here can change without warning.
Additionally, these prices are for those iPad 3 in “new” or “like new” condition. Plus, all assume the tablet is free of water damage, and comes with its original cables and AC adapter. You may get more or less than the price quoted.
As a reminder, pre-orders for the iPad mini and iPad with Retina display begin tomorrow, Oct. 26. Both models will go on sale on Friday, Nov. 2 in the United States, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
