With the new iPads still flying off store shelves, what do you do with your 1st or 2nd generation iPad?
Donate it to a school?
Give it as a Christmas gift to your nephew?
Or just sell it?
We've told you about Best Buy's buy-back policy but there are a lot of other places that are offering up incentives and cash for your used Apple Tablet.
If you decided to go the latter route...here's some pricing information we've found that might help you decide where to unload it. These are all based on your pads being in mint condition and each retailer has slightly different criteria to assess their values.
On Amazon:
1st Gen. iPad
16 GB: $245
32 GB: $260
64 GB: $280 ($295 for 3G model)
2nd Gen. iPad 2
16 GB: $320 ($385 for 3G)
32 GB: $375 ($410 for 3G)

Be forewarned--if you sell on Amazon, you don't get cash, you get an Amazon gift card that can be used for anything on their site, including your new iPad if that's the way you want to go.
On the world most popular auction site, Ebay...here's what you can look forward to...
