Best price in Ireland for iPad ?

Where ?

Thanks in advance

New, they're all standardized prices by Apple.

HTML5!

Try Adverts.ie for people selling new(ish) iPads.

You can find a good deal there sometimes.

Thanks, that clears that up. Is there any talk of a new one coming along this year, in terms of bringing down the prices of the existing models ?

Not really. Generally European prices are very close to each other. We are not being ripped of this time.

Yep, there will always be a new iPad every year.

Add in the EU/Irish VAT rate.

Compare us to the UK or Europe. We pay the same more or less.

Best price in Ireland is either dixons travel shop in Dublin airport or a refurb from apple direct: http://store.apple.com/ie/browse/home/specialdeals/ipad
Also apple do discounts for students and some (like airport) employees.
Outside Ireland, USA and HK probably cheapest, but if you follow the official channels (and pay duty/tax) when you bring it into the country there 's probably little savings in it...

That's nothing to do with Ireland but Apple's Euro pricing policy.

Also you're forgetting to add on local taxes which are not included in North American prices and you will pay in the shop over there or at checkout stage online.

Dioxins in Dublin airport is about €40 cheaper, so if you know anyone who works in the airport with airside access they can get it for you

I bought a 3rd Gen iPad on the Apple Refurb store about 3 weeks ago. I can't recommend it enough. The iPad itself came in brand-new condition, with plastic on the screen and wrapped around the device. Cosmetically the device looked perfect. Wouldn't be surprised to be honest if it was just repackaged old stock that didn't sell. The plug looked brand new too, the USB did look it was unravelled before it was packaged. But again looked unused. It all came in a shrink wrapped special iPad refurb box too, slightly more pleasant than a generic brown cardboard box. Paid €390, delivered the next day. Fair enough it isn't the 4th Gen, but with €130 in the difference with a very minor update it made sense. And you can almost guarantee at least one more major software update (ie iOS7). My two cents anywhoo!!

Yep like I said (3 posts back) dixons or refurb is the way to go.
Refurb are all like you described, only the internal bits are used. The outside is refurbished, with new parts, hence it's new. Also when people return their iPad they usually don't hand in their cables (and they cost apple next to notbing) so yes they would be all new too. I know you get this but still plenty of people don't get the concept of refurbishment and think they're getting someone else's old scrathed up and dented iPad...
