Trade-in concerns 2018 iPad Pro

Hey guys, I’m currently using a 2018 iPad Pro (WiFi) that I’ve had for nearly 3 years now. Bought it new in 2018 and I’m looking at trading in for the newly released M1 iPad. The iPad is in perfect working condition, turns on, charges, display in good shape, FaceId works. There is a tiny nick on the edge in the bottom right corner (no more than a mm) and a minor surface level scratch on the screen. What I’m more worried about is the slight bend. I don’t know if it was due to my case, but I never did anything that should have caused a bend. The bend is on the longer side of the device and is not noticeable at all while using the iPad. When I place it screen down and press on a corner, the opposite diagonal corner raises about a mm or so. It’s barely noticeable from the side unless you really look for it. Do you guys think I’ll be fine trading it in without losing value, and is there anything I can do about the issue? Thanks for the help in advance.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

We, just users like you, cannot judge that problem remotely, sorry.

I suggest that you make an appointment at an Apple Store and have your device inspected. After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options / evaluations for your trade-in procedure.

Or, you can try and sell that device on your own, then add the money needed to get a new model.
