Would any shops buy this off me?

Hey, I've got an unwanted Microsoft Surface RT tablet. Recently won it in a competition so I didn't spend any money. I don't need it and don't use it, my family don't use it either.

Hey,

I've got an unwanted Microsoft Surface RT tablet. Recently won it in a competition so I didn't spend any money. I don't need it and don't use it, my family don't use it either. Would there be any electronic shops around Dublin City that would buy such a thing? Looked it up and it's worth around 350 euros, plus it's about 1 month used by now. My chances of selling it slim, or maybe even a trade? Would I have to put it up on Ebay and Adverts.ie instead?

(Mods, feel free to move this thread as I don't know where to put it!)

If it's just the tablet (no keyboard) it's not worth anywhere remotely near €350. Loads of these are currently arriving to students under Microsofts education scheme at a cost of about €200 brand new. Even with keyboard they cost €250. This is bound to depress value, along with the recent launch of the successor Surface 2.

It has the touch key board. You're most likely right about the decreasing value.
