I must have been really lucky. A few years ago, just after the PW4 was released, I needed a new device as my PW2 was nearly full. Prefering the PW3 to the PW4 I went looking for secondhand models on ebay.
I was aware of the blacklisting issue, but came across a seller who accepted returns within 30 days, so I bought one. There was nothing wrong with it. It registered with Amazon (using a friend's wifi) and had no issues. But I realise that I was lucky.
The battery is showing signs of wear now. Probably an issue with secondhand devices.
