Kindle 2 on Ebay
Just for fun, I quickly browsed Ebay for K2's and am amazed that they are still going for nearly $200! Really? Brand new K3 are $139 and $189 (3G). I think there are a lots of folks with impluse control issues!!
Personally I would much rather have the brand new updated Kindle and it would be worth the wait. |

I'm trying to sell mine for 200 Euro, that's about 260 USD, but I sell it bundled with Accesories worth over a 100 bucks.
And don't forget, 139 or 189 is for us the net price, 19 % taxes are added, so I think my deal's not so bad after all. |

It's funny, a couple nights after the announcement of the k3, I was doing the same, browsing eBay to see that the price was, and i saw two that were under $120 USD, including one auction that was $100 Buy-it-Now, with Free Priority shipping, and no tax. It had 6 days, 23 hrs left on the auction, so i bought it just to have a kindle to play with while I wait for the k3.
But then looking last night, again, for kicks, they all seemed to be $139+, usually around $150 to $200 after shipping. Makes me happy i got my k2i "just for kicks" maybe I can turn a slight profit off it, who knows. It's in fair condition, I'd say a 6 or 7/10 cosmetically, a few scratches around the case on the front and back, and two light scratches on the screen, that you can't really see unless the light is just perfectly right, and even then it doesn't obstruct the text in any way...I'm totally happy with the purchase. The k2i trounces my prs-300 in so many ways, that I can hardly wait to see how Amazon topped the k2 in almost every way with the k3 |

You'll be surprised, the screen is way better
At least comparing K2 with DX (and I don't mean the screen size, that's obious) DX ist almost clear white, as K2 is "gray" compared with DX. |
