    I need help guys, I have a 16GB White iPad Air on T-Mobile and i'd like to sell it.
    I want to sell it because I purchased the iPad Mini Retina, and I prefer it and realize that I use it more than the Air.
    The thing is that i've never sold a device before, so I know nothing about doing it.

    Where should I sell it and how much should I charge?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Craigslist, eBay and Swappa are some great places to sell. I usually see how other similar products are selling to gauge what my selling price will be. Your iPad seems to be selling between $420-$500 on various sites.

    I'm sure this goes without saying, but if you use craigslist make sure to meet inside a public place!

    I haven't sold on Craigslist in a while as I'm strictly an eBay seller. However with Craigslist you won't have to be any seller fee's and you won't need to wait for the funds to clear from PayPal before you get your money..you get cash straight in your hand. With Swappa there are no seller fee's so you get back more of your money. If you want money right away Craigslist is your best bet, if you wanna try and get the most money out of your iPad then Swappa and eBay are usually better places to sell.

    Thank you all for your help, I'm going with Swappa.
    I've decided to sell my Air and my MacBook Pro and buy an iMac.

    Steep fees. I use Swappa. Just a $10 fee that they ad onto your sale price.

    May have trouble selling there. People don't go to Swappa for iPads.
