Re: Cheapish iPads?

I got mine off of Ebay with a tiny crack in one corner and a few minor scratches on the screen. It's risky because you don't know how bad scratches might be from pictures and the screen is very expensive to replace, obviously, but I consider myself pretty lucky with my purchase. The blemishes are hardly noticeable and don't affect the use of the device at all.
So, long story short, a second hand, wifi-only iPad 1 would be your best bet if you can find the right one. If that isn't cheap enough nothing will be.

As despicable as some may find eBay, you "should" be able to get some
deals there.  Aside from the glass getting scratched up, it's not like
there is a lot to go wrong on them — a plus side of using the flash
storage on them.

You can also watch the AT&T store for special deals — the data plan
for the 3G version is monthly so you can drop it after month, so you'd
want to factor in the cost of that (and you can buy the very cheapest
one).

We actually took advantage of a special thru AT&T and managed to save
a bit more … I DO recommend going for the iPad2...

And yeah, there are DEFINITELY some Apps that are coming out that
really make worth a close look — I'm trying to figure out how I can
afford a second one!

Best,

Dennis

Anyone know where to get a better deal than the $50 off refurbished
pads at the Apple store?  I think I've finally seen one app too many
to not need this device.

So sad.
