It appears he was absolutely correct in his assessment. Market Watch (www.marketwatch.com) put out an article today saying that there were 700% more devices put up for sale on Tuesday than the amount put up on Monday. The single most common model put up for sale? The 3rd-gen iPad. The 32gb 3rd-gen iPad is the single most popular device being traded on Gazelle currently.
Consumers have a really unique decision here. Market Watch said they have seen users getting up to as much as $495 for the 3rd-gen. That means someone could pocket $160 and get the mini. Or for a bit more out of pocket they can get the 4th-gen iPad.
The only sure thing is that Ender was right. The iPad sales numbers are going to be extremely high. People are selling off their "old" iPads at a really high rate in order to get ready for the new release.
I was first in line to sell mine in preparation for my iPad 4!
