What's a good price to buy a used iPad Air 2 or iPad 5th Gen (2017)?

[AlTech]

Hi,

 

a family member needs a new iPad to replace their iPad Mini (Apple A5, 512MB RAM).

 

Money is a bit of an issue for them hence why looking for used.

 

What's a good price for a used iPad Air 2 for 32GB WiFi Only or 128GB WiFi only?

 

And what's a good price for a used iPad Air 2017 for 32GB WiFi Only or 128GB WiFi only?

 

I'm probably going to be buying off eBay from a reputable seller which has refurbished the device but I just want an indication of what a good price would be.

 

Thanks much.

 

Edit: Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Pricing in GBP please. Thank you .

I'd say around £250ish for an immaculate Air 2, that's what I got for mine(64GB Wifi only). However, if you ignore the seller refurbished ones and bid you'll probably be able to find one for less.

Well, the new iPad is a really good deal atm(Used and new). I remember I paid around £600 for my Air 2. 

Better to pay a little more for more power and possible a Warranty.

iPad Air 2 has a laminated Display, something both the iPad 2017 and iPad 2018 lack.

 

However: Keep in Mind, the Air 2 has several years behind.

If you consider, every iPad will get updates for 4-5 years... i'm not sure about getting an iPad Air 2, even used (except the price is REALLY good).

 

If its like "only" 50-100 bucks more for an iPad 2018, i would go for that.

Better CPU/GPU, will get updates untill 2022-2023~ probably, and supports the Apple Pencil (which is a very nice thing to have, if it ever becomes neccessary).

And mainly the remaining years for updates is why i would prefer the new iPad 2018 over a used Air 2.

 

But if the price is good enough, and significantly cheaper than iPad 2018, go for it. It will be a huge upgrade over the old one.

If you want a very good display, the Air 2 kind of demolishes the new iPad here. On the side of performance, that A8X is a tri-core cpu with a pretty monstrous (at the time) gpu that is still reasonably decent today. Coupled with 2 GB of RAM, I don't think one would find performance to be lacking.

 

Though the A10 chip in the new iPad is undeniably faster and a lot more efficient. The pricing is also excellent. The battery, being newer, will also hold a charge better. 

 

So, tough choices here.

I've been looking at ebay's UK site and none of the Air 2s are cheap enough to be worth it .
