Eligible old iPads to trade-in;
iPad 2
iPad 3
iPad 4
iPad 5

Eligible surface devices;

Surface Go 2 from $629
Surface Laptop Go - from $879
Surface Pro 7 - from $1149
Surface Pro X - from $1699
Surface Book 3 - from $2399
Surface Laptop 3 - from $1599

Trade-In Process:

  1. Purchase a surface device from above at the Microsoft Store
  2. Get an online valuation of your old device to trade in
  3. Upload surface purchase details
  4. Send your old device in
  5. Receive the valuation amount back into your bank account
  6. Receive your new surface device

iPads 2, 3, 4, and 5 give a high valuation compared to most other devices for some reason, I think it has to do with purchasing these specific surface devices because purchasing anything else drops the value significantly.

    Are they able to screw buyers over after they purchase by saying the iPads are no longer worth that much? If so, can we simply cancel the order?

    • Clarky77 on 25/09/2021 - 16:49

      If you are really worried then make sure you don't open your Microsoft purchase until you've recieved your trade in value, pretty sure you can return online purchases to Microsoft for change of mind at least you used to be able to but I'd double check (others have said they returns further up in the comments so I think you'll be sweet)

  • Sheng on 25/09/2021 - 14:53

    I have 2 Ipad 3 sitting in a drawer… but there isn't any cheap options on microsoft stores as their out of stock. Does other stores work?

  • congo on 25/09/2021 - 14:56

    Why are the old iPads 2/3 have more trade in value than the new iPad Air?
    Doesn’t make sense.

      Probably less soldered on parts and LCD panel is easy to remove.

      • neonlight on 25/09/2021 - 20:44

        The parts inside probably are reusable unlike new models

  • Ebaygiftcards on 25/09/2021 - 14:57

    Woot. Got an iPad 2 sitting in my drawer. Too slow to do anything but now is worth $421.

      The Microsoft Store invoice is for proof of purchase for the surface, not the ipad

    Do I have to buy from Microsoft only? The good guys offers better price.

    • dkausa on 25/09/2021 - 15:12

      You have to buy from Microsoft store and upload a PDF of your receipt during the trade-in process.

        Is Microsoft edu store included?

  • sween64 on 25/09/2021 - 15:26

    So, it seems I could get a Surface Laptop Go (i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for $1099 less $421.45 for my iPad 2. That's $677.55 after trade in. Seems like a pretty decent deal. I've currently got an HP n228TX with i7-4500U, 8GM RAM a 464GB SSD…

    • pennypincher98 on 25/09/2021 - 15:27

        It was probably advertised as 500GB but that’s what the Windows Disk tool was just telling me what the capacity was.

    Is Surface GO 2 worth buying? The only reason i am considering this is because I have an old ipad 2 sitting there.

    • spiinl on 25/09/2021 - 15:45

      same boat.
      but the base model is 4GB+64GB making it much less useful than the $849, 8GB 128GB.
      Probably using kids student account to activate an education account and get 10% off first. hope some deal could come up before this ends.

        Even then…. its not even the M3 model which is equivalent to the ipad 2020 in speed, but costs double. Its $1200 here… For $800 thats really not worth it. I'd only consider getting it to refund it for the $450 for a useless old iPad, which isnt quite ethical.

          This is OzBargain. Check your ethics at the door, my friend.

          • ATangk on 26/09/2021 - 13:31

            @strangeloops66: The thing is I actually loved my SP3. The offerings here just don’t seem good. Someone else mentioned this has been around for a while, if this deal remains I might wait until the SP8 or maybe the go 3 is included and get something then.

            I thought the surface go laptop might be good but it’s not even FHD resolution.

    Oddly, there is no ability to trade in for the new Surface Laptop 4

  • gazza524 on 25/09/2021 - 16:10

    Do we require the original packaging for trade-in, ie the retail box?

    • Jamryu on 25/09/2021 - 16:20

      No. In the email: 'For packaging, please wrap each item individually in bubble wrap if possible, or in paper,' 'You can put your items in any box strong enough to safely contain the items.'

  • Ebaygiftcards on 25/09/2021 - 16:11

    • freefall101 on 25/09/2021 - 16:19

      Likely very soon, after they get spammed by Ozbargainers trading in a couple of hundred iPads and they realise they're losing thousands of dollars.

      It must be an error of some sort, considering they'll give me $64 for my perfect iPad Air.

  • superforever on 25/09/2021 - 16:14

    $438.61 for my iPad 3 WiFi 4G?

    Surface Laptop Go almost the same size as my Surface Pro 7, may be that is a good option like a real laptop.

  • davemc on 25/09/2021 - 16:19

    tempted have 2 ipad2 and a ipad3 sitting doing nothing.

    So a Go 3 at $629 for 64gig 4 gig.. be $200 for a new toy
    Even at $300 looks good.

        My thoughts too, plus the 64GB version uses eMMC whereas the 128 has an actual SSD which is significantly better from reading reviews.

        Only problem is that it more than doubles the cost of the device after trade-in from $175 to $425.

    • spiinl on 25/09/2021 - 16:21

      Surface Go 3 is not in the list?

        says go?

        Yes 4gig not much.. Although only really want it for net browsing and watch something like Kayo
        $849 for a go 3.. be $400 diff.. then I think ipad gen 9 for $50 more

    Confusing and complicated cashback procedure. Pricing which doesn't make sense, older ipads worth more than newer ones??? This seems like a crap shoot, roll the dice and you "might" get your cashback. No thanks.

    EDIT:
    did further testing of the site, not all ipad products have this option "What device did you purchase from Microsoft Store?"
    so rebate won't be much otherwise.

      Same happy with that. I think the best price is the Surface laptop go, mid config with 8GB ram 128GB SSD. extra $300 for the 256GB SSD is a rip off. Also retails for $100 less than MS store at other places.

      4GB ram is not good don't save that $200 with 64GB storage you will regret
