Ended REB 1200 and/or PRS-500

BuddyBoy · 07-14-2009, 10:22 PM

Say MRers, anyone interested in a legacy RCA REB1200 color ebook reader, or a Sony PRS-500? A friend of mine is buying a new PRS-505 this week and she's interested in selling off her older readers. Everything is in good condition, photos available on request, shipping at actual charge based on how you'd like it shipped. We're located here in Canada and can ship worldwide.

She would love to get:

US$100 obo for the REB1200

US$100 obo for the PRS-500.

The 500 comes with the nice green cover, plus of course the power supply.

The 1200 comes with the removable cover, power supply and stylus. I believe there is also a CF memory card - I think it's 512K, but it might be 256K.

Please let me know if there is any interest or questions.

Mike

Edited to change the price on the PRS-500. It's seems I overpriced it a bit and she'd be happy to pass it on for $100. There is also apparently a second battery included with the REB1200 - a new old stock one purchased a few years ago.

I'm very much interested in the REB1200 if it's in very good condition. (I'll be in the U.S. in two days.)

Some questions, please:

1) What is the firmware version?
2) What is the condition of the battery?
3) Is your friend currently able to download onto the Reader books from Fictionwise? (This would depend upon the firmware version, I believe.)

Thanks,
Don

Hi Don, I'm fairly sure I updated the firmware when ETI took them over so that she could use the RebLibrarian to download additional books, but I'll have to confirm that. If there is a later firmware available, let me know and I'll try updating it.

I'll confirm the battery condition, but am willing to swap it out for one of my newer ones if necessary (I have a 1200 and 2150 and purchased some new batteries about three or four years ago. They may have been new old stock however, so I'll have to test their ability to hold a charge.)
