Have you decided to upgrade from an iPad 2 to the new iPad? Are you hoping to get a decent trade-in value for your one-year-old, nearly perfect second-generation model, but don’t want to go through the hassle of dealing directly with private buyers? NextWorth can help with that. But act now beacause, although the value of your iPad 2 is holding steady for some models, for others the price has already dropped by $50 or more since the announcement of the new iPad.

NextWorth specializes in trade-ins for old gadgets so that consumers can get a little money for their new toy without losing all of their money on the old ones. The company will give a comparable market value trade-in for electronics and even send you a shipping label to make it simple for you to get the device to them. NextWorth has teamed up with more than 1,400 Target stores nationwide to offer in-store trade-ins for iPads.

The price of the 16GB iPad 2 with Wi-Fi has gone down in value by $72 and the 32 GB Wi-Fi model by $57. The good news is that the 64 GB Wi-Fi- model and all of the 3G models have not changed in trade-in value at all since the new iPad was announced. Once the tablet actually hits store shelves, the story might be different, so you might want to start thinking about letting go of that iPad 2.

NextWorth’s trade-in value for the iPad 2 in “Good” condition is listed below. Tablets that are “like new” are a bit higher
