And because of you, I bought one myself.

Amazon needs to give you a finder's fee!

Skiprr, I hope you went to Best Buy and got it for $89.99. Personally, I think it's worth the full price, but since you can keep the extra $50 in your pocket, why not?

I've considered it. But they're still expensive used, and I really can't justify it right now. Also, there is the issue of buying one used, and the prior owner has somehow damaged it in a way that my tech-challenged self wouldn't recognize for quite some time. However, I have a relative that likes to buy the newest and greatest things the moment they come out on the market, and tires of them when the updated versions or better options come out. I might offer to buy his when this happens.

Skiprr, I think I mentioned the Best Buy sale, so I'll split the money you saved (50% of $50 = $25, I take PayPal) as the finder's fee (just kidding, enjoy the money you saved)

You CAN purchase returned/recertified Ipads directly from Apple, if that's what you want to get. The recertified Ipad2's are in pretty short supply, nowadasy, but you can put in an order and wait for one to become available. Go look at the Apple store.
