New Ipad 1 WIFI 3g worth 250

[drbrock]

Hey guys I was thinking about buying a new ipad 1 3g off craigslist for 250. Is that a good price? Or should I wait a month or two and they will be 150? I am pretty much only going to be using it for basic apps and web browsing. No infiniti blade for me..

I already have a transformer so I don't want another android tablet.

Thanks for the advice.

how many gigs?

The 3g does add more value. Not a bad deal it looks like tho not sure of going rate. Maybe see what they go for on eBay.

16 gigs. I don't need a ton of storage

At $250, price is low enough to get it first and decide if it's worth it later

 

[drbrock]

haha I was thinking the same. Do you think these things will hit sub 200's within the next 2 months

$250 is a good deal for a first gen with 3g. If it's new it's a great deal.

Might be able to pick up a 16 GB WiFi model for around $200 soon, but I don't know if it will drop below that. Maybe eBay hasn't reacted yet, but the prices are still fairly high in my opinion. Perhaps once the new iPad actually launches things will change.

For what it's worth, the 14th rule of the AT Forums is "no price checks"

I don't want to be a jerk, so I'm not going to lock this thread, but for the future I just thought that I'd mention it.

If you already own a Tranformer then you don't need an iPad!!
