Unlocked Kindles???

So I'm looking around on ebay for a used DX, and I see several listed as unlocked... What are the potential issues with buying an unlocked device?

What I really want is a DX wifi version but they still have not made this yet. Most of my use will be PDF that I can't get into an ebook format without a large amount of work. They contain forms and several other issues that prevent a good conversion. I'm reading right now on a tablet PC but the text is not as clear as I would really like, and the tablet is about two or three times heavier than a DX and of course uses a backlit LCD so battery can be an issue even though I get about 6 hours out of the battery.

I have a couple of low ball bids on some of these unlocked devices so I'm sure there is little risk in winning one before I can get the answer to my concern.
