Anyone wanna buy my iPad2?

Toby · 07-03-2012, 22:21

Looking to flog my iPad2 so I can upgrade.

Tis a black 16GB Wifi model in mint condition with no marks at all. Also comes with a Switcheasy Coverbuddy rear clamshell case which adds very little bulk but totally protects the rear and corners. Warranty is valid until July this year.

Looking for £270 delivered

iPad is now sold but still have the Coverbuddy case if anyone has an iPad2 already and is interested in it?

That was quick!

I ordered 'the new iPad' this morning

Toby · 09-03-2012, 00:03

Yeah should have sold the damn thing a couple of weeks back, values have taken a nose-dive lately.

Ordered my iPad3 this morning too! 32GB 4G model this time - £579 - ouch!!

Ah I refuse to buy a '4G' product. So I bought a 64gb wifi model with a smart case for a, lets not think about it too much, £620ish. The VAT on that is the worst though I think, knowing I'll probably be setting up a Ltd very soon :/

Oh well. iPad for me next Friday

Yeah the 4G is pointless here as we'll have two more generations of iPad before we get any 4G networks here, we're so backward.

I want 3G on it though as I found it a bit limiting without it on the iPad 2, having to tether to my phone when needed was a bit awkward and eat into my allowance.

I'm not bothering with the upgrade so I'll be skipping this generation and seeing what the next has to offer.

Why set up a limited company? I know it's what a lot of people tend to do but I don't see the need most of the time. Become a sole trader and you can whack "running costs" through far easier than you can with a limited company. The only time I can think being a limited company has its advantages is once you hit the 40% tax bracket.

I say Ltd because in the past two years thats all I've heard, nobody has mentioned sole trading. All the guys I work with have Ltds but my brother is a sole trader. As I understand it a sole trader is easier, but I've never looked in to the differences so assumed it was just the way you had to operate when contracting like I am.

Sole trader is easier but your liability is unlimited IIRC and that has the potential to really burn you.

Yeah I was reading about that yesterday. The hardest part of it all is coming up with a company name it seems!!

In other news I got my shipment notification from Apple last night

From what I've read they're coming direct from China. Bring on Friday!
