Buying an Air 2 on Ebay
Any tips for navigating this, or common wisdoms, or otherwise? Hoping to buy a 128gb Air 2 off ebay next week & have never bought anything so expensive through there, kinda paranoid that I'm gonna get shafted. Also please titillate me with how amazed I will be to jump from a 4th gen to an Air 2, or castigate me for not waiting another month so I can get 'The Big Boy.'

Just make sure you're covered by some means for a refund if things go wrong. Lots of stolen iOS devices are sold on eBay. Many more are sold without the seller unlinking them from their account and are virtually useless. I personally would never buy one unless I could see it being disconnected from their account in person.
The Air 2 still has a lot of umpff and well worth having at the right price. Good luck with your purchase
Go for, all of my iPads were/Ebay purchases.
However:
Check the feedback, don't buy from anyone with less than 100
Read properly through the description, there's some iCloud locked etc.
Safest bet would probably be a refurb (not one with replaced screen/digitiser). There's some authorised Apple resellers. I got a new iPad Pro 9.7 a month ago, no problem.
Always complete transaction through eBay and pay via PayPal to be scam protected.
I bought an iPad from someone at a ridiculously low price but they had only 30 positive feedback. Turned out to be a scam but I got the refund within days.
No reason not to buy on eBay, really.
@supadom yeah it actually occurred to me to check ebay because of you mentioning it before.
So no one with feedback less than 100, that excludes a 98.8% rating over 11k ratings?
The funny thing is that if Apple had put 4 gigs of RAM into both new Pro's, I would assume we've entered a 4gb ipad dimension and held out for the newest models. But 2gb should be good for awhile thanks to that 9.7 Pro, thus I buy old stock from not-Apple.
I can't see Apple relaxing the app use of memory limit for a while yet, so while 4gb would be most welcome, it's not really an issue and won't be for quite a while yet.
I've bought four ipads on ebay, all were absolutely fine. You do have to be very careful though checking out the seller's feedback. Personally, if all seemed fine I'd buy from someone with a lower number of transactions, but not if it's really low.
Unless you're desperate it might be worth waiting a few weeks the new line up will probably be unveiled in early October and released November at which point air2 price may fall as people sell them to get the new one.
FWIW, I would NEVER risk buying an iPad on e-bay. Way to much that can go wrong, and very little saving. If you're UK based I can personally recommend hoxtonmacs at the address below. I bought gear from them at a substantial saving, and it's superb quality.

Excepting the scams.
Me personally, I'd rather buy refurb from apple store. I don't trust ipads/pods/phones from craigslist or ebay.
Good to see others that have gotten some good deals though, just not for me.
@High5denied Do refurbs run well? I bought a refurbed netbook a few years ago and it was trash and I swore off refurbs at that point. But Apple devices seem more solid so i dunno.
Last March, I bought an air 2 128gb refurbished from an eBay seller that does volumes of iPads. It can't hurt to comparison shop. Read the listing description. I'm happy with my purchase and especially with the spare 76Gb of storage that's available.
I've had my refurb air1 for at least 2 years. Have had no problems with it at all. From what I know, apple puts a new battery in them, new screen, and does a complete check up on them. I think there is a list of what they do on the site.
Bought Air 1 on the bay. There are a ton of resellers on there at this point offering deals on par with individual sellers. They sell them by the truck load and ebay is basically just a transaction platform for them, much like Amazon is for other indie sellers.
That's totally fine, provided the 1.2% negative didn't happen in the last month!
If you go with an independent seller, I'd just make sure they have enough positive reviews as a seller. It's really important that you check that the reviews are "as a seller" and for things that aren't $4 baseball cards. That's the old ebay scam setup. Networks sold each other loads of $2 items, got ratings up and then appeared to be "good" ebay users.
That applies to ebay pretty much in general, as I said, you just need to be careful. I bought two Air's and one Air 2 and all were within Apple's yearly warranty. I sold them on ebay too.
Warranties aren't transferrable. Plus you don't know if someone jizzed all over it.
Ewwwww
Yeah I suspected that about the warranties.
Not only that, but a lot of people take their iPads with them while they're taking a shit. I definitely wouldn't wanna buy a Poop Pad.
Yeah got to admit I take mine to the loo
My brother and my nephew do too. That's why I started calling my nephew's iPad the "Poop Pad".
I bought a MacBook Pro off Ebay and everything worked out great, but I bought an Ipad Air 2 new from the Apple Store because I didnt want any issues with it, however my brother bought an Ipad 4 off Ebay and it worked out fine for him.
Prob not much different than touching a door handle, or other stuff in the line of poo fly in a bathroom. I don't touch nothin without a paper towel or my shirt, lol...nor do my kids.
I hear the Air 3 is self cleaning!
For all the fappers out there, they got a new accessory called the iWipe which is a winshield wiper attachment powered by bluetooth, so you can charge up your device while having a wank.
I hear it has been delayed. A serious bug makes the user crabbie
I bought a refurbed name-brand computer at a major electronics retailer. It worked fine for three months and then the CPU burned out. I replaced it and three months later the CPU burned out again. It's made me leery of refurbs since you never know if a weird problem like this is what sent whatever device you're getting into the refurb channel.
If it was at Best Buy, I can understand why that happened. Sorry to hear that you've had bad luck with the computer stuff/company . Apple gives the same warranty for the refurbs that they do with the new ones. So, if it breaks should be good. If it's non consumer related.

I didn't get it on eBay, but I've got an Air 2 with 128 gigs. I've only done audio tracks and no IAA thus far, but I haven't been able to push the Air 2 to the brink running Auria with plugins and effects on 15-20 track projects. So far, I haven't even been tempted by the Pro, knock on wood.
No, it was at Fry's and it simply motivated me to build my own music production computer, which is what I should have done to start with (it was so cheap and tempting, though).
