Lot of 10 Dark Blue 505's for $2k

seajewel · 07-07-2008, 05:02 PM

Noticed this on ebay today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-of-10-Sony-D...3286.m14.l1318

I have a silver, but still wish I had a blue (for the contrast. I think in general the silver looks prettier in person). $200 per 505 is a real good price. If I had the cash I'd almost consider buying and reselling on ebay. If there were a way for people to chip in safely (without fear of being cheated out of a lot of money) this would be a good deal for a group buy on mobileread..

The blues ones have way faster page turns

Very funny:P but I'm perfectly happy with the page turns on my silver.

Downsides of the blue: chips and shows silver with some mishandling or accidents (see demo units, the one at my sony style store is pathetically chipped in multiple places), shows fingerprints.

Downsides of the silver: the screen looks darker because of the lighter border. The tan cover is ugly (imo). Possibly might become discolored because of skin oils (unconfirmed).
