Can I sell a locked iPad Air (3rd generation, 2019)?
It depends on the lock. Carrier locks are accepted.

iPad Air (3rd generation, 2019) locked questions
How much is a locked iPad Air (3rd generation, 2019) worth?
An iPad Air (3rd generation, 2019) in like-new shape currently prices at up to $150. Once the lock is cleared, the lock itself does not lower the price; condition, storage and battery do. Each iPad estimate draws on this month's resale data for that configuration, and your condition answers refine it before anything is shipped.
Which iPad Air (3rd generation, 2019) storage sizes can I sell?
All of them: 64GB and 256GB. Higher storage raises the offer in every condition. The quickest check is the About screen, under Settings on iPad and iPhone or the Apple menu on a Mac, which names the model, year and chip. Our model lookup also accepts a model number or identifier, which confirms exactly which iPad you hold before you start pricing.
Does the iPad Air (3rd generation, 2019) have Activation Lock?
Yes. It stays tied to the owner's Apple Account until Find My is turned off or the device is removed at icloud.com/find. Signing the iPad out of its Apple Account drops it from Find My, and that is what lifts Activation Lock for the next user. Activation Lock is checked during pricing and again on the bench, so switching it off early keeps the iPad sale moving.
How do I get paid for my locked iPad Air (3rd generation, 2019)?
Choose PayPal, Zelle or Bank transfer (ACH) when you accept. After testing confirms the iPad Air (3rd generation, 2019) matches your answers, payment is sent within 2 business days after your device passes inspection. If anything differs you get a revised offer first and can decline it for a free return.
Do you buy carrier-locked devices?
Yes. Pick the carrier in the quote. Carrier-locked units must be paid off and free of blacklist reports, which we check by IMEI before sending a label. Activation Lock is tied to the Apple Account still signed in on the Apple device; signing out removes it and frees the device for its next owner.
