[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1179056, member: 56379"] I agree...and I would feel the same way!:) For the right price...I would also buy an iPad that was engraved. The deal is...folks that get the engraving don't realize how much the engraving (especially if it's a real personal or "funky" engraving)...detracts from the value of the item...as compared to the exact same item (in the same exact condition) is without any engraving. The free engraving makes a lot of sense when purchasing the item when it's new (especially if it's a gift)...but when it comes to selling the engraved iPad (for example when someone wants to sell their iPad to buy an iPad 2.0)...it just reduces it's value. Or reduces the number of potential people that might be interested in purchasing it. If someone looking for a used iPad had the choice between a "non-engraved" iPad...and an engraved iPad with something like [b]"I Love You Snookie!"[/b] engraved on it..which one would most folks want to buy? Of course...the price would be a big determining factor...but I van almost guarantee...the "I Love You Snookie!" iPad would sell for less!;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
