I'd always want to see the item working, check that it charges etc, and even if buying in person, it's worth paying via Paypal if you can. However, unless you can get it for a reasonable used price (half the new value), considering the price of the new Kindle 4 (WSO), is it really worth it?

Out of idle curiosity I was looking at the prices of used Kindles on ebay just a few days ago. I was surprised to see them going for around the same price as a refurbished Kindle (in the UK) or a new Kindle 4 (US).
