Target getting iPad 2 on launch day Target has confirmed today that it will begin selling the upcoming Apple iPad 2 on launch day, March 11th, at 5pm.
Says the large retailer (via PCM):

We will be offering all 18 versions and price it as all other retailers have, starting at $499.


Apple sells three Wi-Fi only models, three AT&T 3G models and three Verizon 3G models (16/32/64GB for each). Because the iPad 2 is available in black or white, there are a total of 18 different versions available.

The tablets will only be available in-store, not via Target's online store.

Furthermore, you can trade-in your original iPad for store credit starting on the 13th.

The tablet is going on sale through AT&T, Verizon, Apple and Best Buy on launch day, as well.

It is most likely very low (<50% of original price) - you are better off selling it on ebay.
