Ended Like New Kindle 3 (wifi + 3g)

hopkinsenglish · 11-09-2010, 10:51 PM

After all the Kindle 3 talk at my workplace, I had to break down and buy one today. After I got it home and sat with it for a while, though, I realized that the K3 (wifi + 3g) just isn't for me.

It is a great device, but just isn't what I'm looking for at this point in time.

I will sell all of the items that K3 has with it - kindle with plastic covers (see picture), charger, booklet, and all original packaging.

I'll accept PayPal and will ship for free if you are in the US.

Asking price: $169 (you're basically saving 20 bucks here!)

Nice price, but could you say why it isn't for you?

Is it the brand, or do you just not want an ebook reader?

hopkinsenglish · 11-09-2010, 10:55 PM

My selling has nothing to do with the brand. I've used my sister's Sony PRS 650 and liked it (the price is too steep for me) and tried the K3 and liked it, too. Really I don't see how one could go wrong with either.

Right now time is a big factor and I just don't have time to sit and enjoy a good e-book. If need be, I'll borrow my sister's Sony.

If you just purchased it today, can't you return it for a refund? why lose money?

hopkinsenglish · 11-09-2010, 11:04 PM

Target is giving me some major BS and won't accept the return since I opened the package. Apparently they don't abide by Amazon's 30 day return policy.

I can't guarantee it will work, but you could try contacting Kindle Customer Service to see if they will give you the refund. It couldn't hurt.

desertgrandma · 11-09-2010, 11:11 PM

Here is the page.....use the 'contact us' button on the right, sign into your account, and choose the 'call me' button.

They'll call you back immediately and you can talk to a rep.

Like the duck said.....it can't hurt to try...having the unit only one day should get you a refund.

hopkinsenglish · 11-10-2010, 06:03 AM

I made the phone call as suggested and unfortunately there is nothing Amazon can do. I appreciate the suggestions everybody.

Now - someone please offer to buy it from me!

What the heck, Don. Did you mark this one because of the price?

poohbear_nc · 11-10-2010, 10:41 AM

This message is posted in all "Sell" threads in the Flea Market - basically reminding potential buyers to carefully verify the offer - before any money changes hands.

It's NOT a message directed personally to you.

hopkinsenglish · 11-10-2010, 11:16 AM

I'm just pointing out that Don's sticky says this:

"I will post this (in green below), when I think you should be alerted about something that seems too good to be true:

LET THIS BE A WARNING NOTE TO ALL MEMBERS:

This poster has very few posts.

It is advisable that Members establish a relationship with the seller before potentially parting with any money - assuming the item is still available.

We are not impugning an OP's character, but Members have been burnt by unscrupulous scoundrels in the past."

I'm not taking it personal at all, just wondering if the meaning of the green message has changed or if I have done anything that could be constituted as "too good to be true."

Dr. Drib · 11-11-2010, 06:40 AM

That message has now been deleted today. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, hopkinsenglish.

The new message (posted here and in the sticky) is the revised message, and edited now for clarity.
