ipad air 2 used

[velocci]

Hi all, I found a used ipad Air 2 for $140 Canadian. this sounds too good to be true. I'm worried it might be stolen. Does Apple have the ability to disable an ipad if it was reported stolen?

Yes. You will also need the current user to unlock the iPad or give you the account info to change the registration.

what if the person completely wiped the ipad before selling it to me?

You will only be able to register the device if the previous account is completely removed or unlocked.

There are several articles/sources outlining what to watch for regarding such purchases. For example:
