Sell your iPad for cash
Whether it’s on permanent babysitting duty looping cartoons, or just been gathering dust since the new one arrived, that iPad still works, and it’s still worth cash. Get a tested, no-haggle offer today.
How it works
Get your instant offer
Select iPad as the brand and get your instant offer.
Free collection
Accept it, and we’ll collect for free, anywhere in South Africa.
We test it

Get paid
Get paid within 5 days, or more via a voucher or consignment sale.
What determines your iPad’s offer
Model and storage
iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini or iPad Pro, plus storage capacity, are the biggest drivers of your offer.
Screen condition
Cracks, deep scratches or dead pixels lower the offer. A clean screen with no digitiser issues gets you the best price.
Battery health
A battery that still holds a proper charge is worth more than one that needs replacing.
iCloud sign-out (required)
Same as iPhone, an Activation Locked iPad is unusable to a new owner, so we can’t buy one still signed in. Turn off Find My iPad before you send it, we’ll show you how.
Epic Deals vs the alternatives
No prizes for guessing which column you’d rather be in.
| Epic Deals | Classifieds | Pawn shop | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price haggling | No last-minute haggling | Constant lowballing | Take it or leave it |
| Payment speed | 5 days | Weeks to find a buyer | Immediate but low |
| Collection | Free nationwide courier | Meet a stranger | Walk-in only |
| Safety | VAT-registered, Ombud-accredited business | Fake-payment risk | Varies |
Why sell now, not later
Tablets depreciate steadily as new models and cheaper alternatives arrive every year, and an iPad sitting in a drawer doesn’t get more valuable with age, unlike wine, or dads at a braai. One that’s ‘good as new’ today is worth meaningfully less in six months, selling it while it’s still current gets you more than letting it become a hand-me-down nobody asked for.
Why South Africans sell to us specifically
Epic Deals has paid South Africans over R88 million for their used tech since 2013 (yes, actually paid, not “up to”), with 1,800+ real customer reviews. We’re not a stranger from a classifieds app, we’re a registered, VAT-paying South African business with a track record you can check, and a participant in the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud Scheme, the independent, CPA-accredited dispute resolution body for retail complaints in South Africa.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to remove my Apple ID before selling my iPad?
Yes. Just like iPhone, Activation Lock means we can’t buy an iPad that’s still signed into someone else’s iCloud account. Go to Settings > [your name] > Find My > Find My iPad and turn it off, or erase it via Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad, which removes it automatically when done correctly.
Do you buy iPads with a cracked screen?
Yes, we buy iPads across a range of conditions. Screen damage lowers the offer rather than ruling it out, get an instant offer and we’ll grade the exact condition when we test it.
Does the Apple Pencil or keyboard case add value?
They’re not required, but including genuine Apple accessories in good condition can improve your offer.
Do you buy cellular (SIM) iPads as well as WiFi-only?
Yes, both. Select your exact model when getting your instant offer.
How long until I get paid?
Within 5 days of us receiving and testing your iPad, by EFT. Or take our voucher for 12% extra to spend in-store, or sell on consignment for potentially even more.
Is the courier really free?
Yes, free nationwide courier collection, no hidden cost.
Is there a safer way to sell than meeting a stranger from Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree?
That’s exactly what we built this for. No meetups, no lowball haggling, just a tested offer, free courier collection and a real payment into your account.
What if my iPad won’t turn on?
Get an instant offer anyway and we’ll assess it properly once it arrives. A non-working iPad is worth less than a working one, but it’s still worth something.
