Target is offering a trade-in program that will give you at least $200 for any iPad – including the original iPad.
The Target trade-in deal started on November 3 and will run until November 9. It’s simple to do as well, as MacRumors outlines:
Step 1: Find your local Target mobility store by clicking here and selecting “Target Mobility.”
Step 2: Bring your iPad to your local mobility store and visit the mobility kiosk in the electronics department to complete the trade.
Step 3: Payment will be issued in the form of a Target Trade-In Gift Card and is redeemable in any Target store.
The offer is good for any iPad that meets two main conditions: It must be a ‘working’ iPad (able to power on) and have no scratches on the display screen.
With the iPad Air ‘entry-level’ 16GB WiFi only model priced at $479 at Target, if you do the trade-in you could grab one for as little as $279.
You can check out all the details at the Target trade-in program page. If you’re looking for a great deal on the new iPad Air, this may be one of the best options out there.

I just went to the Target “appraisal” site. They will give UP TO $200 for used electronics. When I appraised my original iPad (64GB), they appraised it at $75. Still a good deal for what is a doorstop at this point.
Seems like there is some loop-hole in their advertising. It states AT LEAST $200 will be awarded, but it does seem like they meant UP TO. My original iPad appraised for $42. I think I’ll hang onto it.
Patrick, thank you SO much for this post!! We went to Target last night with my original iPad, the first one, and were given a $200 card. Wowza!
You’re so welcome – glad to hear it worked out well for you.
