I couldn't afford the new iPad pro so I decided to buy a used iPad pro 10.5" (2017 ver).
It was used for a year and I got the iPad pro 10.5" + Apple Pencil + Smart Keyboard for $510 (USD).
There are minor scratches, which I don't mind.
I've never purchased used electronic devices before so I didn't really do much inspection but everything looks okay. Is this considered a good deal?
 
A used one like yours is going for $280-350 depending on condition. Since you got two very expensive accessories with it, I’d say it was a good deal.

Plug it to coconut battery on a PC when you have the chance to see how many cycles the battery has.

I paid roughly the same in late August for 10.5, keyboard and pencil and still find it to be an excellent deal.

I don't think it was a good deal. But does it matter what other people think about a purchase that YOU made?
 
It sounds like a good deal, but any scratch or dent on iPad diminishes sale price greatly. But Where do people see iPad like go for 280-300? I’ve been following eBay on used 10.5 and they all seem to be above $500 range. Myself I just got an used 64 LTE 10.5 on eBay for $385 after coupon. I don’t need Smart Keyboard or pencil so I hope that’s a decent deal.

It’s $649 + $129 for the same iPad new. You saved a ton of money and it didn’t involve car insurance.
 
Thanks for the input everyone. Coconut battery says 92% battery capacity. Is that okay?
