Demo DX buyers: BEWARE of this eBay seller

I know a fully working DX for cheap sounds great, but buying from this guy isn't worth the gamble. Seller is banggss. He's got hundreds of demos apparently.

The description makes you expect just a few scratches, normal wear and tear, right? And where are actual pictures of what he's selling? Well, there's a reason there are none, even if you ask for them.

The Kindles are pretty rough/terrible, but the icing on the cake is the shipping method:

A bare Kindle in a simple bubble wrapped envelope! WTF?!?! Of course, the screen is cracked & useless.

Other issues to expect if you pull the trigger:

* Damaged casing (mine was pulled upward, see pic)

* Serial info on back is erased (buffed/scratched off)

* Major black sticky residue

* Tons of scratches and scuff marks, even on the screen

* Questionable battery health because they haven't been charged in forever

Seller will only offer to replace, but after this, I really do not trust him or the condition of his other DXs.
