To those upgrading from SP3 --> SP4, what will you do with your old one?

Trade it in? Backup computer? Sell it?

I don't recall MS stores, or Best Buy will take trade ins, but I would consider it if the offer was right. But since my folks need a new system, I'll be giving them my SP3.

EBay. Already have an s3 as a backup and 2 nexus tablets to back that up.

seems like I can always find a friend or family member who needs a device, gonna sell my sp3 and surface 3. Im finding the surface pro screen to be the minimum size that I want.

Microsoft UK will give you a whopping £100 off if you trade in your SP3 for an SP4!

CeX will give you between £229 - £333 dependant on model.

I'm going to use mine as a sushi tray.

I'll be selling 2 SP3s to Gazelle.

They (Gazelle) pay much less than after shipping/fees on Ebay

You're quite right, but I have a deep and abiding distrust of eBay.

That's ridiculous!.. IF I was going to upgrade (and I'm almost certainly not) I would sell on ebay or possibly gumtree (not sure if that's an international thing so if not it's like craigslist).

I have sold expensive things on ebay before, and not had a problem. it is quite nerve wracking though!

This. Have a search agent for the past two weeks so I know the range that mine will go for. As soon as I have a tracking # for the SP4 I'll put my 512GB SP3 up, start uninstalling programs, do a disk image and backup data both.
