Where is the best place to sell an iPad in the UK?

Short answer: CeX pays the most for a used iPad more often than any other UK store, with Back Market close behind. The gap between the best and worst offer for the same iPad is a median £99 — and which store wins depends on the range.

How we tested it

We collect every store's published trade-in price for each iPad model, storage size, connectivity and condition. For a like-for-like comparison we took every Wi-Fi iPad configuration in good condition that at least two stores price, and counted which store paid the most: 117 head-to-head comparisons.

Which store paid the most for an iPad

Win rate is how often the store paid the most out of the configurations it prices. Ties count for every store involved.

The best store by iPad range

Is a Cellular iPad worth more?

Usually a little. Comparing the same store, model, storage and condition, a Wi-Fi + Cellular iPad fetched a median 2% more than the Wi-Fi-only version across 1,269 pairs of prices. If your iPad has a SIM tray, it is a Cellular model — make sure you pick that option when you get a quote.

What about a broken iPad?

A faulty iPad loses more of its value than a faulty iPhone: its best offer is a median 19% of the same iPad in good condition. It is still worth quoting — even old models usually have a price.

The practical answer

No store is best for every iPad. Find your model — here is how to tell which iPad you have — then compare every store's price.
