With the recent push by nearly every company that ever had anything to do with electronics to put out a tablet, the devices are starting to become outdated at almost the same rate as smartphones. Perhaps it is for this reason that Verizon has opened up their trade-in program, first launched in the fall for cell phones, to tablets. Verizon claims tablets could score you up to a $300 gift card good towards a new device on their network, but real life appraisals come in much lower. How does $65 for a first-gen 16GB iPad in mildly used condition?

GO GREEN THIS EARTH DAY WITH VERIZON WIRELESS’ TRADE-IN PROGRAM
Wireless Users Can Now Recycle and Get Value From Their No-Longer-Used Tablets
BASKING RIDGE, N.J. - Offering wireless users more options to get value from their no-longer-used devices and help the environment at the same time, Verizon Wireless today announced that the Verizon Wireless Trade-In Program, initially launched in September 2010 for cell phones, will now accept tablets.
"Whether you’re a mobile user looking to move to the nation’s most reliable network or a customer looking to trade up to a new tablet, our Trade-In Program provides options that people can feel good about," said Greg Haller, vice president of consumer solutions for Verizon Wireless. "Adding tablets to our lineup of eligible trade-in devices along with wireless phones, gives users another option to recycle old devices and get value." Through the Trade-In Program, wireless users can easily determine if their device has value and if so, receive a Verizon Wireless gift card for trading it in. For example, a wireless user could trade in a tablet today in good condition and receive a Verizon Wireless gift card worth up to $300. Customers looking for another option to recycle wireless devices can also take advantage of HopeLine® from Verizon, a program that collects devices and accessories to help victims of domestic violence.
