This is what I just did! To my surprise the stores had the offer. I was all set to send my original pro in (as the website said it was online only), but thought why not ask the store? Turns out they had it displayed everywhere. Super easy process and now I'm typing away on a new SP4M3.

Did you get an additional $100 for trading up to SP4? Been trying to figure out that extra $100 worked.

I tried to trade in my SP2 yesterday. The store told me I could get $300 for it if I upgraded to a SP4, but only $200 if I used the amount for some other device.

Wait wait what?!?! I got my sp4 the first day. How much did u guys get for SP3??? I wanted to trade mine in, I think they'll still credit me for it.

 

[WildKarrde]

Pretty sure I can get more than $300 for my SP2 and accessories. =\

Thanks rocketboy! Can't believe they are only offering $200 for SP2?! They are (or were) offering the same amount for a Surface 2.

I wanted to go with this until I found out that they would only give me $300 for my Surface Pro 3 i3...
I would need at least $500 for that.

These trade in values are bad imho, but I guess that's price you pay for choosing convenience over selling it yourself... Just Might try to sell mine here in the marketplace...

THey said its at least 400.

I called my store and they said that I would have to return the SP4, and rebuy it.. then apply the credit of 300, and rebuy the SP4 and get that additional 100.

I've decided on this than taking it on ebay because it is about 480. Ebay will take at least 30 from that and I have to ship the device which will cost me at least 20 dollars. And also risk a hacker getting into my files even if I reformat it, files are still there.

I wonder how much I can get for a Samsung Tablet ...

Only disappointment is no credit for a keyboard cover. Adding it and taking it off is zero credit. But nice to have some money toward a SP4.

Not sure what you mean by extra $100. Got $225 for my original Surface i5 128g - no credit for the keyboard (touch) - not sure I'd have gotten that on EBay and way better than the hassle anyway. ...the website mentions a minimum of $100 value for your old surface if you upgrade to the SP4.

the rep I talked to basically just wanted the SUrface PRo 3, and power cable. no mention of keyboard and pen, so I may sell them on ebay. They can at least get me 30 and 20 each respectively.

TThat's what I was asking. The extra $100 for trading to SP4 was listed on the website but couldn't find more info.

Guys please be smart, dont use this offer. Just sell your device on craigslist or ebay....Youll like A LOT more. Like really, do yourself a favor.

The MS Store didn't mention it either. But since my value was already listed at $225 the minimum value was kind of moot anyway.

I checked ebay before I went to the store and the prices seemed all over the place for my surface. Majority of the listings I saw were much less than the offer. Definitely check first - as the values some are getting for later devices do seem too low.

Depends on what you have. Not all devices give you good value on eBay.
