📖 The Hustle
Used iPads sell fast because they are the go-to device for kids, students, and seniors. Buy iPad 7th-9th generation models for $120-180 on FB Marketplace. Check that the screen has no cracks and the iCloud account is removed. Clean it thoroughly, include a generic charger and case from Amazon ($15 total), and list for $200-280. Parents buy iPads for their kids year-round, not just during holidays.
🚀 First Step
Search 'iPad 8th generation' or 'iPad 9th generation' on FB Marketplace, filter under $180, and ask sellers to confirm the device is iCloud-unlocked.
🔑 Keys to Success
- iPads with cracked screens are almost never worth flipping — screen repairs cost more than the profit margin
- Include a cheap $10 case from Amazon to make your listing stand out from other sellers
- Sell older iPad models to parents of young kids — they do not need the latest generation
