eBay Instant Sale has seen more than 22,000 offers on first generation iPads since Apple’s announcement of iPad 2 last Wednesday. This represents a 796% increase compared with the previous week.
Since eBay launched Instant Sale in October 2010, roughly 38,000 iPad offers have been made in total compared to only 1,600 offers made for other tablets.
I’ve been deliberating all week about selling my iPad using eBay Instant Sale and standing in line in Austin, TX for the new one at the temporary Apple store being built especially for SXSW. We’ll see how long that line is before totally committing.
Cheers,

About eBay Instant Sale
eBay Instant Sale is a new program that lets people get competitive cash offers for electronics, including tablets and cell phones, in 60 seconds or less. eBay customers who visit eBay.com/iPad and enter in basic information about their device will receive an instant cash offer. Once the offer is accepted, users will receive a free shipping label. Payment will be deposited into the customer’s PayPal account once the item has been received and evaluated.
