I'd take my £200 and buy a brand new Nexus 7 rather than join a crowd that seems happy to pay way over the odds for a name and then be told what I can and can't do with it.

It's personal preference isn't it. We all have iPhones and an iPad and an iPad mini so we find it so easy to send stuff to and from the sets. I think if you start off Android then stick to it. We started on iPhones iOS and then bought an Android tablet which I've now got the hassle of selling as it just is not as smooth and responsive and easy to use as our Apple pads. So we'll stick to Apple for medium term. We have very simple needs for it so we're not affected by what apple say you can and can't do. Thanks.

It has no moving parts, so in my view all you can really ask is, apart from general cosmetic condition, is;

"Has it been used with a screen protector?"
"Has it been used in a case?"
"How long does it tend to last on one battery charge?"
"What accessories (if any) are included?"

Good points for me to look at each time. Thanks a lot. Its case of then making a judgement then but I'll take my time and look at all those things.

I'd be amazed if you can pick up a decent ipad 4th gen for half original RRP or less. Apple products hold their price and I'd be very wary of anyone willing to accept a low price.

I know your after a ipad is this for any reason in particular. I'm only asking because for the money you could get a new android tablet which would give you most if not all of the funcations of the ipad . Just a thought .
