According to you guys, all used purchases are invalid.

How that turn out?
All used purchases of units that are legitimate and under warrenty will be honored. I believe I mentioned people buying broken Kindles on EBay and the having the warrenties honored when they called Amazon. The buyers knew the risk, that they could be buying a broken unit out of warrenty and they would be out the money.

There have been posts regarding people buying a Kindle only to find that it is not working because it has been reported stolen. They, and you, took the risk of buying a used product and got burned. It is not different then buying a used car from a private buyer and the manufacturer not repairing or replacing the car when you find a ton of defects in it.

Buying a used product means that you are accepting the risk of it being defective and you are out the money. In your case, you bought a used Kindle that was not intended for sale and Amazon can do nothing to help you. You should have tried it at the Flea Market or called Amazon before buying it to see if it was a useable unit.
