I have also gotten them new. Honestly, it is hard to tell the difference. Being entirely solid state, they either work or they don't. Cosmetically, the ones I got were essentially perfect.

A used iPad2 is probably in the $350 range. Here's some from across the country.

From NYC area (with a little drama http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/sys/3788676495.html
