Just got an email from Amazon this morning. After inspection, they had increased the valuation to "Like New" and gave me $340 for it.

Kudos to Amazon.
It's going to be one of those days... I read that as 1st gen "iPod," not iPad. And as I read it, I kept thinking "Holy crap, man. Those things held their value well, didn't they? It took a couple more reads to see that it was for the tablet, not the first run of their music player.
