You sell the old one used.
Apple kit holds its value very well, as you would expect from a product that is selling almost as fast as it can be made. Gazelle.com is currently offering me 60% of the retail price of my old iPad. Must... resist...

EDIT: Planning on selling mine, so wondering if anyone has used the service before?
I sold my original base model iPad for $400 on Craigslist last week ($100 less than I paid). I'm sure you could still get at least $300 now, more if you put in the time to write a good ad and/or offer to deliver nearby.
I find that Gazelle's value proposition has been pretty good, for me. I'm happy to surrender a few dozen dollars in exchange for not having to deal with Craigslist or eBay.
Damn you Apple for dumping cheap first-gen iPads onto the market!
