WANTED Older iPad wanted

[rvvaquero]

I'm looking for an older iPad for a specific dedicated use. I'd prefer a no older than iPad 8 or a no older than iPad Mini 5, but will consider anything. Mostly looking for a bargain, so if you've got one stuck in the closet that you're not using..................

Thanks.

I buy and sell to Gazelle and they are a trusted source for used devices. I would NOT recommend Ebay.

Does it have to be IOS? You can get a new Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet for $90 or a Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet for $120. That's a sale price, not sure how long it will last.

While Gen 8 is sufficient now, will it be in the future of the app?

EDIT: Changed from iOS 8 to Gen 8.

He asked about an iPad 8th Gen, not iOS 8. Two different things.

The linked iPad will meet the specified criterion. My concern that the Gen 8 is probably not (though it might get one more) going to support subsequent iOS versions. This may impact future compatibility if the application(s) in question continue(s) to be developed.

Thanks. I've looked at Gazelle and Swappa and will continue to look.

Yes. In fact, I'm running a Fire HD8 now. The IOS version is more stable, but I don't want to dedicate my iPad 10 to the task. Thanks

I think so. I would even consider an older one for cheap. Thanks.

Are you expecting to do better than $114?

I just bought my wife a new 13" iPad Air to replace her 12.9" 2017 iPad Pro. I did the trade in of the 12.9" 2017 iPad Pro that they estimated the trade in value to be $120.00. But I got an email today from them today claiming that it has "screen bleed" and they lowered the trade in value to $0.00. I rejected their offer and they say they are going to ship it back to me. I know when I packed it up there was no dents, scratches, or screen problems at all. The battery needs to be replaced ans she was having to charge it a couple of times an day. Either it was damaged in transit back to Apple or they are lying about it. The "inspectors" are a 3rd party outfit of some kind. I still have the serial number for the iPad so I can check that they actually send the right iPad back to me. No idea when I will get it back but I may have one available soon. If there is anything wrong with the screen I will file a complaint with Apple over it because the screen was fine when it left here.

Who is "them?"

Who is "them?"

The email was from Apple reducing the trade in value from $120.00 to $0.00. When you go to the Apple website to check on the progress it states it is being inspected by a 3rd party company.

They're trying to rip you off.

Just for the record, I've bought several iPads off of Ebay with no issues.

That is my thinking too. They say they will send it back so I have the serial number of the one I traded in.

I sold an iPhone on Ebay once that went to an import/export warehouse in Texas. After it got there, they sent it over the border where the person receiving the phone filed a chargeback against my bank for $550. Ebay covered me due to fraud, but I said "never again."

I may have unwittingly supplied the Cartel with a free cell phone.

As an alternative suggestion, Woot is selling some "older" iPads on their site right now.
