An eBay vendor is selling hundreds of supposedly used Kindle Keyboards at fixed price (not auction). I bought one for $49.99. Without the (to me and few others) fabulous free worldwide cell-phone based internet, it is $5.00 less. My unit looks new.

Since amazon has not lately offered warehouse deals on Kindle devices, just on covers, they must be off-loading returned units somewhere. I'm guessing eBay.

I've bought stuff from, and sold by, the great Amazon itself that I had to return because it was defective on arrival. It happens. Mailing something back isn't, to me, much harder than returning to a physical store.

Some eBay sellers have prickly personalities. I just found this page with advice on returns -- it's oriented towards apparel but most of it applies to electronics:
