Best Buy trade offer is the best way to jump from iPad 2 to iPad Air 2

iPad Air 2’s thinner design, improved specs, and Touch ID may not be enough of an upgrade to entice iPad Air owners, but there’s little doubt that it’s a gigantic leap forward for iPad 2 users.

If you’re planning to jump into a new iPad Air 2 then you’ll have a few options with what to do with your old iPad: sell it privately, pass it down to a friend or family member, keep it as a backup, or trade it. If you opt to go the trade route, then you’re going to want to check out this special promotion Best Buy is currently running…

From now until November 8th, Best Buy is guaranteeing a trade value of at least $200 for an iPad 2 or newer with the purchase of a new iPad Air 2. Devices must be in working condition (no cracked screens/water damage) to qualify. Now, compare that to the values of the three most popular trade services:

• Gazelle: $85
• Amazon: up to $150
• NextWorth: $85

*iPad 2 16GB WiFi in good condition was used for trade estimates

Clearly the Best Buy offer is your best bet if you are looking to turn your old iPad 2 into a brand new iPad Air 2.
