Here's my iPad 3 for 3 deal for CP:
1 x iPad 3, LTE, 32 GB
1 x Smart Cover in dark gray
1 x Saddleback Leather iPad case
The iPad 3 itself is in great cosmetic shape, having spent all of its travelling life in the Saddleback case. It has over 12 months of Applecare+ coverage remaining, which means you also get up to two incidents of accidental damage replacement via Apple until March 2013. The LTE works with Telus, Bell, or Rogers of course. You get the great retina display on this model, same as the iPad 4.
The Saddleback leather case is in good clean shape - it shows some normal signs of break-in and aging like any good piece of leather gear, but I wouldn't even consider it fully broken in yet - the thing ages like a finely made baseball glove. It is bar none the highest quality leather case you will find for the iPad and makes it bulletproof. You have to see this case to believe it - I'd take it backpacking or camping or globetrotting in a case like this.
The Smart Cover is in perfect shape, no scuffs or stains at all.
If you want retina (and on a 10" iPad, you want retina), this gets you into retina for less than the cost of an iPad 2, plus LTE, with zero risk via the warranty coverage. The iPad 3 also has 1 GB of RAM compared to anything other than the iPad 4 - this is an investment that will have a good lifespan for future apps and iOS upgrades.
If you know me, you know I take care of my gear and I stand behind what I sell - I don't flog worn out hardware, and I don't seek to maximize profit either.
I'm looking for
$350 for this package, which is under a year old, and is worth over $1k when you factor in the two cases and the AppleCare+ coverage. If I take it to Kijiji, I'll likely start at around $500. If you tell me the bank machine only spits out 20's, you can have it for $340
I won't link to the iPad 3, you know what that is about. The Saddleback case can be found here, mine is in the Tobacco Brown colour:
