By the time iPad 3 comes out, the iPad original will be basically worthless as a resale item.
No worse than buying new computer or car when newer models come about. Unforunately, computers including the iPad lose value very quickly unlike a car which is still viable as a trade in in a few years. I've learned that by holding onto consumable items too long, that eventually they have very little value and are hard to sell.
