Having just purchased a Kindle 2 (this one for my wife) from a forum member, I'd recommend purchasing from someone that you consider to be trustworthy. (Having a good reputation here or on an online auction site is helpful in making this decision).

My purchase was completed without a hitch and the unit was as described by the member. I was able to register the Kindle to the same account as my own and begin loading books to the unit immediately upon receipt.

I would just ensure that the seller stands behind the unit in the event that you aren't happy for some reason. (If you are using PayPal, paying with a credit card rather than your bank funds will allow you some protection you wouldn't have otherwise in the event of a problem or misrepresentation.)

Good luck with your purchase. Once received just turn on the wireless and make sure you "synch" the unit to ensure you get any software updates or downloads. You can also add some personal information to help others contact you in the event you misplace the Kindle.
