iPad Selling FAQs

Still have questions? Contact us →

Where can I sell my iPad for cash in Chicago?+

Chicago Gadgets buys eligible used iPads at our store at 4529 N. Kedzie Ave., Chicago, IL 60625. Start by submitting a free Device Evaluation with your iPad's model, condition and a photo. After we review it and let you know what your iPad is worth, bring it to the store for inspection and ownership verification. You're paid in person once you accept the final offer.

Which iPad models do you buy?+

We evaluate iPad Pro, iPad Air, standard iPad and iPad mini models, in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Cellular versions. Newer models usually have the most value. Some older generations have little or no resale value, and we'll tell you if your model is eligible.

Can I sell a broken or cracked iPad?+

Yes. We evaluate iPads with cracked screens, bent or dented housings, charging problems and other damage. Describe the damage and include photos in your request. Damage lowers the value, and eligibility depends on the model and condition.

Can I sell an iPad that won't turn on?+

Possibly. Some iPads that don't power on still have value, depending on the model. Mention it in your evaluation request. We check every iPad in store before completing a purchase.

How much is my iPad worth?+

Your iPad's value depends on the model and generation, storage capacity, Wi-Fi or Cellular, screen and housing condition, battery health, included accessories and current resale demand. Request a free evaluation to find out. The final offer is confirmed after in-store inspection.

Do I need to turn off Find My and Activation Lock?+

Yes. We can't complete a purchase while Activation Lock is on. Sign out of your Apple Account (Apple ID) and turn off Find My before you sell, or know your Apple Account password so it can be removed at the store.

Are there iPads you can't buy?+

Yes. We can't buy an iPad with Activation Lock still on, an iPad that isn't fully paid off (including carrier installment plans), a school or company iPad that hasn't been released from device management (MDM), or a device reported lost or stolen.

Should I include my Apple Pencil, keyboard or charger?+

You can. List any accessories in your evaluation request and bring them with your iPad. Eligible accessories in good working condition may increase your offer, depending on their condition and resale value, but additional value isn't guaranteed.

Is it better to trade in my iPad or sell it for cash?+

Trade-in programs usually give store credit or a gift card toward a new purchase. Selling to Chicago Gadgets requires no purchase: after in-store verification, and once you accept the final offer, you're paid in person. Compare both offers before you decide.

What should I bring when I sell my iPad?+

Bring the iPad, a government-issued photo ID and a second form of ID, and any accessories you're including. Back up your data first, and know your Apple Account password in case Find My still needs to be turned off.
