 If All Things D is to be believed, we're less than a month away from the iPad 3 announcement. After two years with my iPad, I'm planning to make the upgrade from my original 16 GB Wi-Fi model. That's why I'm going to sell it this weekend. It's the perfect time to do so. As soon as the iPad 3 is officially announced, your old iPad is going to lose value. Yes, Apple products do hold value better than other gadgets. For example, I once sold my old iPhone 3GS with a cracked screen for more than $200. Cash. And that was a month after the iPhone 4 hit stores. You probably wouldn't be able to cut a similar deal with a BlackBerry or Android phone. But if you want to get the most money for your old iPad and you know you want to make the upgrade, now is the best time to sell. You'll only have to suffer without your iPad for about a month before you have a shiny new iPad 3 delivered to your door. You have a ton of options if you want to sell your old iPad. Keep reading for some tips and tools you'll need to get the most money for it. Gazelle is one of the most popular gadget buyers  Gazelle is an automated website that lets you type in the gadget you want to sell, enter its condition, and get an automatic quote. Gazelle will send you all the shipping materials so you can ship the device to them. Once they receive it, you can get your money in the form of an Amazon gift card, PayPal payment, or check. It's one of the most hassle-free options if you're trying to get rid of your iPad quickly. A few caveats: - Gazelle prices tend to be a bit lower than they would be if you sold directly to another person.
- Gazelle evaluates the condition of your gadget after you send it in. The quote you get online may be lower than what you actually get.
Here are some alternatives to Gazelle  All of these have a similar buy back process as Gazelle. Check them out and see who gives you the best price:
There's always eBay!  Ah, eBay, the old standby. eBay makes it easy to get your gadget listed and receive payment via PayPal.
