Get Some Cash for That iPad

"In anticipation of the announcement of an updated iPad from Apple next Wednesday, some iPad owners are already generating quick cash from their older models."

Seems appropriate to post this now that the new iPad is "supposedly" going to be announced on March 7th doesn't it? I have an original iPad that I'm thinking of selling so I read this article with interest, and I'm glad I did since it appears I'm going to be able to get $170 USD for it based on the info I provided here. That will take a big chunk of the damage for the new iPad I'm guessing. There are other options listed in the article as well, so if you are considering selling, it's worth reading.

Wipe Your Old iPhone and Put it to Good Use

"Thinking about getting a new iPhone and not sure what to do with the old one? Why not give it to the kids? Basically, what you're really doing is turning the iPhone into an iPod touch that's kid-friendly, which is a great way to put old tech to constructive use."

Since we are supposedly getting information on a new iPhone later today, it's good to know how to wipe your current iPhone clean in case you want to sell it or just give it to your kids to use. Or in case you sell it on eBay, where apparently you can get a pretty good price. Much better, according to this article, than by selling it at another reseller as we mentioned yesterday.

Get The Best Price For Your Used iPhone

"With the iPhone 5, 4GS, 4S, or whatever they're calling it now rumored to come out in a few months, you may be looking to sell your current iPhone 4 or older model iPhone in order to upgrade when the next-gen iPhone comes out."

We all know it's going to happen, so when the new iPhone finally does appear it is good to have that "old" one in tip top shape so you can sell it and get the most money possible. One tip that isn't used that often, or at least I don't think people consider based on some of the phones I've seen for sale, is the one about cleaning your phone. It doesn't take that much effort to polish up your iPhone, especially if it is an iPhone 4. Attention to detail will win the big bucks.

Getting Your iPad Ready for Resale

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad" @ 04:00 AM

"I've been asked several times over the past few days about how to wipe an iPad/iPhone/iPod touch ready for resale. Instead of repeating myself over and over, I thought that a post was in order."

It actually is pretty easy as you can see from the graphic above. Go into general settings and erase, simple as that. As noted on the Apple website however, it can take several hours so make sure your iPad is plugged in.
