Retiring my PB 840

p38lightning · 02-06-2018, 09:31 AM

I have replaced my PB 840 Inkpad (original model with v. 5.15) with an Icarus Illumina XL. I would now like to part with the 840. However, on checking with E Bay, I could not find any for sale so as to get a feel for pricing a used unit.

Would appreciate any price range suggestions or interest if that is allowed/appropriate here.

Unit is in excellent shape with a very minor cosmetic ding. Cover for USB port/SD card slot is missing as the slim strap on it broke and PB would not send me a replacement piece!

Screen is scratch free and has always had a screen protector on it.

Not looking to becoming independently wealthy from this transaction but would like this unit to find a warmly appreciative home.

Thanks in advance for any assist with the above.

What kind of screen protector? Does the transaction include the screen protector/sleev/cover?

The screen protector is still on the unit. It was an extra I trimmed down to fit (non-glare) that I had for my 8.9 inch tablet. I kept it in a black foam zippered case that I now use for my Icarus unit. Never found a sleeve that would fit it!

This is the sleeve that would fit https://www.ebay.com/itm/PocketBook-...-/182382141357

I'm in the same predicament as you. I am selling an Inkpad 2 (same as 840, I guess) for €150, but there are no buyers for several months now. But I don't want to drop the price either, because it's in perfect order and the cover is included.
