Adding to the festivities, is the busiest shopping season of the year, leaving us scrambling to find the perfect holiday gifts for your loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>Holiday purchases can strain the wallet. Shoppers will spend an average of $702 this season \u2013 up from $677 in 2014 \u2013 with $575 going toward gifts, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.icsc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">International Council of Shopping Centers<\/a>\u2019 Consumer Forecast. But despite the expected increase in purchases, consumers are feeling the sticker shock from high-ticket items. In a recent survey of 754 Americans, Gazelle found that 70% of shoppers feel the expensive price of a new iPhone or iPad prohibits them from buying it as a gift.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s common to hunt for discounts and bargains, many shoppers don\u2019t think about offseting hefty costs by selling things they own and never use. We\u2019re not talking about planning a full-blown garage sale or spending hours on eBay. Rather, identifying a few key items around the house that could be sold for a sizeable profit.<\/p>\n<p>iPads might be the golden key to your holiday shopping fund. Gazelle\u2019s recent survey found 16% of households own an iPad that is no longer being used. Some of those families even own more than one, bringing the average to 1.3 spare iPads per household.<\/p>\n<p>That unwanted iPad could fetch you up to $280, with the average iPad trade-in paying about\u00a0$100. With a little over 120 million households in the country, we\u2019re talking about <strong>$2 billion in iPads<\/strong> collecting dust across the United States. The unclaimed value of those devices depreciates over time, reducing the opportunity to recover easy money. Money that could go toward buying holiday gifts.<\/p>\n<p>Find out how much your iPad is worth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/ipad?utm_source=gazelle_horn&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=gazelle_horn&amp;utm_content=cash-for-holidays\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The busiest shopping season of the year can strain your wallet, but Gazelle might have found the secret to getting you some extra cash for the holidays.","protected":false},"author":16517,"featured_media":6465,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11,13,16,3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6462","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-apple-news","8":"category-how-to","9":"category-sell-other-gadgets","10":"category-apple","11":"cs-entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
