I personally dont value the factory warranty all that much, but appreciate it's existence, because without it, I'm sure there would be a lot more issues with products not lasting as long as they should. I actually value the 30 day return policy of new items more than the factory warranty since I do return things after buying them (buyers remorse).

Then considering your luck, the Kindle you buy will be out of warranty and will go out on you in short time.
Just how old is the Kindle you want? how much has it been used? what about scratches on the display? and how much battery life is left in it? These are things you also need to factor in.
Personally, I never buy used. I buy new and use my credit card in order to increase the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. But that's me.
With new Kindles going for $79, is it really worth the potential problems to buy something that used?
