ALL ABOUT THE IPAD 2 IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE Buying + Selling iPads If you’re looking to buy an iPad or accessories, there are several options: shop at the Apple Store, buy from authorized/unauthorized resellers, or go through eBay, which unlike the others continues to serve as a market for past generations of Apple products years after they were discontinued. New iPad and accessory prices are below; eBay’s most recent mid-May 2011 used iPad prices are on the right. Buying From Apple Stores There’s every reason - except one - to buy directly from Apple. It offers free engraving on iPads, free shipping, and no restocking fee for items you decide to return. Apple is also the first to get its own products, has the largest inventory of them, and stocks many good third-party items, too. On the other hand, its prices are amongst the highest around, more notably so on accessories than iPads themselves. It almost never offers sales. But it does offer great deals on refurbished iPads. Other stores stock it in separate packages, but Apple can auto-register your iPad for AppleCare ($79), which extends your warranty to three total years of coverage; if purchased separately, it can be activated at any time in the first year. Additionally, if you’re not sure what to buy someone, or want to chip in towards a bigger purchase, Apple sells Gift Cards ($25-$5,000). Shopping Outside of Apple Compare the prices at several authorized retailers to Apple’s. At Best Buy, the prices are at least as high as Apple’s; its historic hassles over returns have diminished. Target stocks budget add-ons you won’t find at Apple and offers brief sales. Local store returns are easy, but it doesn’t sell iPad 2s online. Walmart’s prices are low but shipping is extra, mooting iPad 2 purchases. It sells some junk accessories, but also some good ones at low prices. iPad/Add-On 16GB Wi-Fi 16GB 3G 32GB Wi-Fi 32GB 3G 64GB Wi-Fi 64GB 3G AppleCare Griffin A-Frame Jensen JiPS250i Free Shipping Apple Best Buy Target $499 $629 $599 $729 $699 $829 $79 $50 N/A $49+ $500 $630 $600 $730 $700 $830 N/A $50 N/A No $500 $630 $600 $730 $700 $830 $80 N/A $70 No Walmart $499 $629 $599 $729 $699 $829 $69 $31 N/A No 38
