I was going to sell these on Ebay, but I decided to be at least slightly socially responsible and offer them here first.

This offer is only open to people outside the USA. I have 5 Readers to sell. I am asking for $150 plus the cost of shipping. If you want one, please post here and send me a PM or email with your shipping info. I will reply with the shipping cost.

So far I have PMs from one person, bandsaw. Everyone else will need to form a line behind him.

Hi Nate,

I'd be interested. Sent you a PM.

Nate, did you purchase them from TigerDirect?

Nate, did you purchase them from TigerDirect?

Yes, I did.

I would be interested. Missed it on Tiger.

I have no problem with caution on your part. The Sony Readers in question are part of the 4 July sale you may have heard about on this forum. They are supposed to be brand new. I expect to receive them on Wednesday this week. I will email you a photo as soon as they arrive.

You _can_ get the Connect store credit if you register the Reader, and then lie about being in the US. There is a recent topic on the forum.

According to the USPS website, the shipping cost to Germany is about $40 for a shipping time of 3 to 5 days with insurance and a tracking number.

Frankly, I _prefer_ Paypal over wire transfer. Send a message to my Ebay name, and I will reply to your email to confirm my identity.

Hi Nate,

i would be interested in buying one of those Sony Readers that you want to sell. I live in Paderborn, Germany.

- how much would shipping be for that destination?
- would the reader be unused/brand new and does it come with a Connect store credit?
- would you accept a PayPal payment?
- as this purchase would be based solely on trust, would you be willing to give me some more information about you(maybe an Ebay-ID) and send me a picture of those five Readers when they arrive? Please do not take this the wrong way but sending a rather large amount of money to a complete stranger makes me slightly nervous ;-)

Cheers,
Volker.....

I would be interested. How well does it read PDF and compiled help files like those that can be downloaded from mininova.org?

I don't know. I don't have one yet. You should ask over in the Sony Reader forum.

do you have any left that you are selling?

If all the people who have asked so far follow through and pay, then no.

Paid for mine :) !! I can't wait!! Now to think of what to tell my wife............

Could you please tell us if the offer still stands or if you've sold all of them.

Thanks

Two have not yet paid, so they might back out. I expect both will follow through and pay.

They would be pretty silly not to buy the Reader; they go for almost $225 plus shipping on Ebay.

Probably in vain, but hereby I join the queue.

Drats! twice too slow.

Well, let me know if one does become available please.

Something tells me it's too late. :smack:
Anyway, let me know if one becomes available.

Thanks.

There are no more Readers.

Three have already been shipped, and the fourth hasn't only because Paypal decided to be difficult on this one transaction.

got my reader yesterday - everythig is perfect
Thx

got mine today. Thanks Nate! You're Great

German customs officials really seem to like my reader. They have been holding on to it for the last three days.
Maybe they're just baffled by its ground-breaking new functionality and want to make extra sure they choose the correct import duty category. In order to do this they need to run extensive tests, obviously ;-)

Oh well, I have been yearning for an electronic book reader for so long that a few more days will not make much of a difference. If only the reader arrives in time for me to claim the Connect store credit.

I picked up my reader from the local customs office before work today. It had been processed by customs for a whole week but I guess there is no point in arguing with them (did not keep me from trying, though).

In the end I did not have to pay any import duty, only 19 percent import tax.

So thank you very much for offering these readers here on mobileread, Nate!

Cheers,

I'll join the queue in hope as well.

Please read this post. All the Readers are gone.
