I got this for $55 for a K4- no ads- a silicone skin & a case (hoping it's AMZN)
BUT after shipping ($8) & now the extra warranty ($11) I just bought, I think it's now exactly "half a dozen of one, six of another". No savings. Just a free silicone skin and cover...
I could have bought a K4 refurb with ads from AMZN for $70 with free shipping & had factory warranty. I just hope I have as good of luck with my purchase, as you have had with yours, GeekMaster.
Again, thanks to all for your time & advice.
I will post on this thread to let you all know the outcome, even if it proves embarrassing.....  |
It took a lot of TIME to find such great deals on ebay, so in the end it probably cost more, if my time has any value. The great ebay deals do not come around very often, and usually close late at night when there is less activity. The BEST ebay deals are the ones that close on major holidays, when everybody is busy. You do not need monitor a bunch of auctions and "snipe" amazon purchases, which are always available, and the new SO kindles are quite affordable (and the ads are not THAT annoying).
