Personally I'd feel comfortable buying from the Marketplace here at mobileread from a user with a well established post count. I don't think anybody is going to go to the trouble to establish a presence at Mobileread just to peddle dubious Kindles.

Otherwise, maybe EBAY if it was a good reputation seller with a good return policy.

Otherwise, I think it is just too risky myself.

BTW, there have been people here who have reported meeting with sellers, verifying the serial number is okay, and then a couple of days later getting their purchase reported as a stolen unit. And apparently if you show some sort of receipt like a paypal or ebay receipt to Amazon, they won't unblock your Kindle. You are out of luck.
