I don't disagree, I am not trying to make any point I just thought it was a lot.

I must have been bored today because just after I posted my question I then did another ebay search (UK).

Searching by "Kindle Keyboard" produced 197 results but 4 of those were just cases leaving 193

Using "Kindle Keyboard (fault, faulty, spares, repairs, broken, cracked)" produced 37.

I then looked at the low value Keyboards that did not mention any fault in the description and immediately found another 13 being sold as "spares or repairs". I stopped looking at about £9. So the total number that were faulty was 50 which is 26%.
