An iPad 1 is not trash, even though it can't run iOS6. I suspect you'll be surprised how well it holds its value when you resell yours.

Looked into selling our 64GB WiFi+3G iPad 1 just after the launch of the new iPad. Going rate on eBay was ~AU$350, originally AU$1050. For that, plus the losses in fees, we just kept it.
