BeTePoK · 10-03-2010, 12:58 PM

Few hours ago I saw this link:

They are selling Kindle 3 for $45 bucks! Could it be true?

Almost 180 readers were sold within 2 hours...

Always remember........

TINSTAAFL.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

If it sounds too good to be true........it IS too good to be true.

It may be for real, but I certainly wouldn't want to be the one to confirm it.

BeTePoK · 10-03-2010, 01:04 PM

Agree, but I also saw it on alibaba.com for $30 (if you decide to take 1000 readers)

I'm using the cellphone from China, and it works great since the end of 2008. What's wrong with China?

They are fake K3 for sure.
Location China : LOL

Hell, I may buy one just to see if it's legit. If so, it'll be a present.

If they are fakes, the guy selling them is in for a sh*t storm of negative feedback once they are shipped. The feedback he has is pretty good, actually. Interesting.

And let us know what you find out!!

Genuine cellphone made in China is one thing, fake Chinese cellphone is something completely different. (Have you heard about Airphone?) I bet it is a fake Kindle that looks like Kindle but comes with cheap fake hardware.

I'm using Generic SamKung Q669

So I think it's fake cellphone with cheap SW...which works great for almost 2 years

I agree it's probably fake, but the ad is CLEARLY advertising it as genuine.

If it's fake when it arrives, I'm going on a rampage with this guy (getting Amazon/eBay/PayPal involved for copyright infringement).

We'll see.

It does say you have ebay buyer protection. Not sure what that means precisely.
