One can often find brand new 9.7" 2018 iPad 6th gen for $250. That's one of the best deals one can find on an iPad.

The iPad mini 2 with A7 and 1GB RAM is just poor value in 2019. It'll be slow running current apps and chances are Apple will drop firmware updates for it soon. I'm all for saving money if you can but if even the iPad 6th gen costs too much, then a used iPad 5th gen is still better value and offers much better performance than the Mini 2.

Honestly, the first post looks like a bot preparing to spam the forums by reusing contents of an old article. That looks more like something one would write back in 2016 rather than 2019.
