My oldest son gets his iPads for free. He sells the previous model on eBay a few weeks before the new one is announced, for cost or more, every time.
Once it’s announced they don’t go for as much.
I actually came close to the possibility of scoring an iPad2 and a lot of other stuff for FREE but since the coupons involved were Internet Printout coupons, Walmart gave me a hard time. One manager even accused me of photocopying the coupons and wouldn’t listen when I explained they were PRINTOUTS which are legit.
