Selling used Kindles - Page 2

Actually if anything I under-estimated, it seems you can get more than $70. This should be a link to an ebay search, with ending soonest:

The first actual Kindle 2 unit is at 11 Bids $67.00 Time left: 19h 20m
The next is at 5 Bids $61.00 Time left: 20h 21m

My only problem is how do I determine what version of the Kindle 2 I have? There is a wifi model and a 3g right?

Nope. No WiFi until the K3. There is an international version and a non-international version. The international version uses AT&T and the non-international version uses Sprint. I might have that reversed.

For reference to other people who may find this info useful, I sold the Kindle 2 at Amazon Marketplace. Here is the cost breakdown:
Buyer's price: $105.00
Shipping: $5.49
Amazon commission: -$17.18 (to me it seems like Amazon robbed me by charging so much)
Your earnings: $93.31

However I screwed that up by choosing Fedex to ship, figuring my employee discount would make it a cheaper option. It cost me:
13.50 to ship
4.99 for a Fedex office employee to box it in 12x9x6 box, add packing paper and tape it up(the employee said he would not le me ship it in the retail box tapped up, USPS likely would have)
.35 tax
Total 18.84

So 93.31 - 18.84 = 74.47

What would have been a better shipping option?
