What would you do with old iPad's?

[simonw]

I've got a number of iPad 2 that the school purchased back in 2011/12 and its nearing the time I think they need to be replaced.

 

I'm thinking that we could offer them to staff and parents to purchase, checking on ebay they are going for between £50 to £100.

 

What would you do with them, what other options could I be looking at?

If you do this, make sure your paperwork is watertight and legally sound - no warranty, no service support, no returns, nothing more than an iPad, a 30 pin cable and a pat on the back. Don't supply the charger blocks unless you've PAT tested them recently. Otherwise, this will haunt you for years:

 

That iPad you supplied to me has never worked! The school ripped me off! I'm going to the local rag/Facebook/Mumsnet!

It might be worth seeing what an IT recycler will pay for them - most offer cashback for any items with resale value. Obviously it will be less than you could get yourself ebaying etc them but you then remove all the extra work/hassle involved with selling them, collecting the money, dealing with complaints etc. You can then work out if it's worth the extra money you'd make selling to staff vs the amount of hassle it will be.

Keep using them! Still using our ipad 2's. You can do plenty with them for now.

We sold our old iPads to staff for £50 a pop after offering them internally for departments to purchase if they wished.

My primaries tend to give them down to EYFS, still work well for watching videos and basic apps.

Last time I asked our Apple Account Manager they were offering a circa £70 trade in (as long as it was sound).

I won't say you're one Jack short of a pack.......but a great idea, thanks!

 

The only problems I have is that I'll have to take them all out of their Griffin cases to shuffle them and I've only got 30!
