Interesting discussion. I'll put in my 2 cents.
In the Netherlands: if you've bought it in good faith; g.e. for a reasonable price and from a ' thrustworthy' person; the article is yours. If it turned out to be stolen and the buyer could prove his/hers good faith; than the rightful owner wouldn't have much chance of getting the article back.
With the price of $120 one can assume to have bought something in good faith, for a reasonable price.
And the good faith: there are limits to the foreknowledge a buyer is supposed to have when buying an ereader. One cannot assume him to know that a Kindle is registred at the time of purchase by name or as a gift, and that it can be returned within 30 days; that's too much research to expect from a potential buyer. If he had known it he wouldn't have bought it for $120, but bought a new one for $139. And he tried to recontact the seller.
Perhaps it was a bit naïve buy, but I would say, give him the benefit of the doubt. Amazon is right about not reregistering that Kindle though.
