Anyway, this post made me think of something ... It is kind of funny how the mind of MR works. You buy 2 broken Kindles, and are lucky enough to score two free replacements. Many pats on the back ensue.
Whereas that other fellow recently picked up a NIB Kindle for a discount and people ripped him a new one for being so "stupid" as to risk buying property they felt he should have assumed was "stolen". Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd think that there would be more stolen/lost *used* Kindles out in the world than there are stolen *new* ones.

Yeah, I thought their reactions was off-base as well. I recently scored a 70-300mm VR lens for my Nikon for less than $100! The person had mislabeled it as a "Promaster". Others saw it and insisted that it wasn't a Nikon lens - but it was! Their loss, my gain.
And I've now managed to score four K2s and 2 DXes this way. Sigh... Others just won't learn.
Of course, if these had NOT been 'under warranty', I'd be having them fixed at my expense - and a darned expensive 'expense' for me. (Well, not TOO bad for K2s - they're still $135.)
