Kindle offered on eBay!
And for a *mere* $499!!! But of course you're only guaranteed to be 'one of the first' to receive it...

There was another one up that didn't sell. Of course the seller had 0 feedback and wanted $599 for it so I'm not entirely surprised. I think it's all a bit premature, anyway. It's not sold out that far in advance. Now if it gets to the point it's sold out until after Christmas, they may get some interest. Most people are not going to pay $100 extra to get it a few weeks earlier. It's not ubertrendy like the iPhone.

That's strange, I just had a look to see if there were any available, but couldn't find any!
Can you give me the link please? |

Just to save 5 seconds worth of page loading, someone took the bait.

"Brand new, in box. NOT refurbished. " <-- Like, there are already tons of refurbished units floating around.

Yikes. The bid is currently at $710, and it's still shy of the reserve price. What happened to rational spending?

Ebay has many fakes and fake bids. I got $5,000 for a 2 year old Sony laptop. Too bad it was a fake.

Yikes! $810 and reserve not met. I wonder what the reserve is. I'm surprised it's this high even being sold out at Amazon.

Separate $999 Buy It Now auctions... that were successful. Perhaps these are fake bids, perhaps not. Could this be the beginning? Despite what the media proclaims, our economy might not be heading down a gutter, yet.
