Amazon Now Accepting Kindle Trade-Ins
Amazon customers can now trade in their old Kindle models and receive Amazon credit on their accounts.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/s/re...&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 Amazon seems to be trying to "help" customers give up their old Kindle models and shop even more at Amazon. |

For some reason I think they want to control the second hand/resale market, too. |

They've wanted a piece of the 2nd hand market for some time now.
I happen to find my trusty and fully functional K2 with free wifi to be worth more than $40, so... pass. |

ONLY $40?! I think I'll pass.
Plus I have my SquareTrade warranty too. |

I wonder how many people are going to take advantage of this "help."

Hey my DXG is $149. If they don't upgrade it to the new Kindle Format I can at least trade it in and get a K4 pretty much fully paid for. Given that I have used it for 18 months I can live with that.
But I will never trade in my K1. It is going to be a collectors item. I still have the box and all that came with it. |

50 bucks for an Incredible 2? Are they joking?
If you're in the mood to sell your nearly-new Incredible 2, hit up buymytronics.com. You'll get $113 for it in good condition with everything that came with it. 50 bucks... seriously? |
