Sell or Trade In Your iPad
iPad Pro, Air, mini and the standard iPad. Wi-Fi or cellular, every generation. Get a real number in about 30 seconds.
Wi-Fi or cellular changes the price
Cellular iPads carry a modem and cost more new, so they're worth more used. Check Settings → General → About: if there's an IMEI, you have the cellular version. Choosing the right one up front is the difference between an accurate quote and a corrected one.
iPads hold value better than phones
Tablets are replaced less often and depreciate more slowly than phones, so an older iPad is frequently worth more than people assume, particularly Pro models with larger storage. It's usually worth checking rather than leaving it in a drawer.
Before you send it
Back up, then sign out of iCloud and turn off Find My. An Activation Locked iPad is worth a fraction of an unlocked one. Leave the Smart Keyboard and Pencil out unless you want to sell those too, we quote the tablet itself.
First, turn off Find My before you sell your iPad
A device still signed into iCloud is Activation Locked and worth almost nothing to any buyer. The walkthrough covers the exact taps, the iCloud route if you no longer have it to hand, and the clean erase.

Selling your iPad: FAQs
Is a cellular iPad worth more than Wi-Fi?+
Yes. The cellular model costs more new and resells for more, so it's priced separately. If your iPad has an IMEI in Settings → General → About, it's cellular.

Top iPads fetch up to $832 at BuyBackBear right now. Your exact value depends on the model, storage and condition, pick your device below for an instant quote that's locked for 14 days.

Can I sell a broken or cracked iPad?+
Yes, we buy cracked, damaged and non-working iPads too. Pick your device and select the matching condition for an exact offer.
Is selling my iPad for cash better than a carrier trade-in?+
Almost always. Carriers pay "up to" amounts as bill credits spread over 24 to 36 months, and only if you buy a new device and stay on their plan. We pay real cash after inspection, no strings, plus free shipping and a certified data wipe.
Does iPad have a trade-in program?+
Most manufacturers and carriers run a iPad trade in program, but they pay in credit toward a new purchase on their terms. A buyback service like BuyBackBear pays cash instead, with no new-device requirement. Compare both numbers and take the higher one, for most models the cash offer wins.
Which iPads are trade-in eligible?+
Every model listed on this page is trade-in eligible with us, including cracked, damaged and non-working units. Unlike carrier programs there's no eligible-device list to qualify for, if we list it, we buy it, and the condition just sets the price.
