"Apple hasn\u2019t yet confirmed the existence of the iPad 3, but first and second-generation iPad owners are already rushing to sell their devices based on reports that the iPad 3 will debut in March.\nWhy the rush? Consumers who sold their original iPads before the iPad 2 was announced were able to fetch higher prices from eBay, and resellers such as Gazelle and NextWorth, than those who waited to list theirs until after the iPad 2 arrived in stores. \nFor example: in March 2011, immediately after the announcement unveiling the iPad 2, my colleague Christina Warren and I were able to sell our 32GB iPads on Gazelle for around $550 each. But just hours later, the asking price had dropped to the $300 range.\nHere's a chart, courtesy of NextWorth, that shows the drop in secondhand iPad prices around the time of the iPad 2 launch on eBay:\n\n\n\n\nThus, if you're certain you want to upgrade to the iPad 3, you might want to sell your used iPad now. \nAnd if you're not that impressed with the iPad 3? You could still pick up another secondhand version for a lot less money on eBay in a few weeks.\n\n\nIs This the Inside of the iPad 3?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBack Casing: iPad 3 vs. iPad 2\n\nThis photo allegedly shows the back of the iPad 3, which suggests more room for battery, a different camera and a new LCD.\nCredit: Repair Labs\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSleep/Wake Buttons, Mute Switch: iPad 3\n\nThe component that holds some of the buttons on the iPad 3 is said to be very similar to the iPad 2 (next slide).\nCredit: Cult of Mac\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSleep/Wake Buttons, Mute Switch: iPad 2\n\nHere's the button component from iPad 2.
