I have an iPad Air 2013, WI-FI/Cellular 64 GB that I really don’t use. I was wondering if anyone has sold their old tablets? I saw a website BankMyCell, I wonder if they are trustworthy, also where else can I look to sell it? Has anyone ever done this?

I usually trade in to Apple but I've used Gazelle. Something that old won't get you much.

@Meowingkitty I know it’s not worth much ( it is in good condition), but even if I get $50 or so that would be fine.

I've used Gazelle with no problems. But they are no longer doing their trade in activities as of this past February.

You won't get much for something 8 years old with only 64GB of storage. But look up opportunities to unload it for a modest payout from companies that do that here:

I have several older Iphones that I'd like to donate to a women's shelter but I have no clue how to erase all the old data.  If you're unable to sell your Ipad, perhaps you can donate it?

I have traded in my devices at Best Buy. If you go to both Best Buy's and Apple's websites, you can see what you can get for your device. Now, granted you will get a gift card from them but I usually use it towards another device. Just scroll down to the bottom of the screen to get to the trade in devices location.

@ScrapHappy goodness knows I'm by no means a techie, I always do a factory reset which does erase your info.

I was gonna trade in two of my iPads, my iPad mini 2 and my fourth generation 10 inch iPad.  Since I was only going to get $30 for the mini and $50 on the bigger one, (or was it $20 and $30) I've decided to just donate them.  That will leave me with my 10 inch iPad Pro and a mini until my bigger one comes next week.  I'd really be interested in knowing how to erase my personal info.

It's easy.  I also donate my old tech.  You only get pennies on the dollar if you try and sell them. I gave my old iPad to a friend's grandson.  He loves it and it does everything he needs.
