From your comments, I'm guessing it was an iPad Air 2 64GB?

Not sure where you're getting £421, most of them on eBay (sold prices) are sub-£200

You can even get a refurb on Amazon for £299.95

I think you'd be lucky to get £200.

I’ve just checked on CeX, the most for the good condition iPad is are £220. As OPs is not in good condition, and considering it’s use, the £100 from Argos is a good offer.

Written on my six year old iPad 2. Still working, but than again if the company I work for wants me to use an trinket, they buy me said trinket!

It’s important to consider the model of iPad. CeX are selling my model of iPad (grade A condition) for £440 or £390 (grade B condition). My iPad looks good as new.

But they buy these for a lot less! around £220 for a good condition item. Your iPad is not in good condition!

You're not going to get £400 for your broken trinket!

I’m not trying to sell my iPad... 
I’m identifying the cost it would be for a like-for-like replacement 

Oh, Really?

I used to work for a company (around 2 years ago) and using the colleague discount I bought a tablet for personal use. It never even crossed my mind to sell the product but 2 years (I did not purchase it to sell it on) on circumstances have changed. 

Lots of people buy iPhones and then a few years later sell it on to put towards the new model. Is selling my product allowed? I didn’t buy it for resale, instead I bought it to use myself for my education but now circumstances have changed and I need a new device.

This isn't your broken iPad is it?

Yep

It’s a long story but you read my other posts you’d know that wasn’t my intention. That thread was just in case the retailer said something silly like my iPad has no value as it’s unsellable.

The cost to you of a "like for like" replacement is irrelevant.  If Argos accept the fault is inherent they can repair, replace or refund - their choice to make.  If they decide to refund they are entitled to reduce your refund to take account of the 16 months use you have had of it.  The fact it may cost you £400 to get a like for like replacement is irrelevant.  You might get 50% back at a push, but more likely to be about 30% - 33%.

Second hand prices on eBay etc only give a very vague idea of what somebody is willing to pay to obtain one - NOT what Argos would be obliged to refund.

Even then, OP seems to be deliberately picking the most expensive examples on eBay.

11 pages in, how many more before the OP confirms Argos have given him £450 for a broken ipad

I think they can eke out a few more pages by drip-feeding information and deliberately not getting what people are telling them.

Perhaps they'll get a few hundred in compo for the "inconvenience" too.
