Just bought a brand new sealed ipad m4 11'' wifi and gsm/sim with 1tb of storage and smart folio case for 500 usd
I saw a post on Craigslist and thought it was fake, but nope old gentlemen just didn't have a need for it he even gifted me the smart folio case for it. I feel like its awesome little device for the money I paid but just use it for media and web browsing and gaming which I feel bad since this can probably do much better, what would these go for used?

UK here, from what I have seen, there is not much demand for the M4 iPad Pro’s and the pricing is so sporadic on eBay.

With an offer accepted and cash back, I got the 11 M4 512GB 5G for £720, which at the time I thought was a steal, but they are being sold around £800 - £900 brand new, for a model worth £1,399 on Apple (!!).

I have the iPP M2 11 with MK, which is fine, but I think I will want to upgrade to the M4 eventually, so considering keeping the M4.

These M4s are completely overpriced and I guess the majority are being bought by businesses for gifts and prizes etc.

Damn, nice deal! I just paid $600 for a 5th gen iPad air 64gb cellular model. But came with a Magic Keyboard. This is Canadian pricing though. These go for $1k new here without a keyboard so I’m still happy with my deal lol

Just out of curiosity, could the friendly old gentlemen produce a proof of purchase?

Sounds crazy that someone would sell a sealed iPad pro M4 that cost $1800 for $500 and throw in a smart folio case...almost to good to be true tbh.

My iPad Air 5th gen I bought was $1000 new, plus $400 for the keyboard plus tax. Over $1600 new and I got it for $600. Canadian pricing for those that are confused of the costs. Sometimes good deals are out there

Just make sure you tell the person who you sell it on to where you got it from in the event that the IMEI is getting blocked or similar.
This is more to protect you so that you don't get hunted down if the device is reported stolen.

Just to be safe, reach out to they guy you bought it from and as for a proof of purchase, not only to make sure it isn't a stolen device but also if there are any issues and you need to use the warranty.
