And if the books are from the Sony Store then they will vanish as soon as a purchaser authorises the device.

Hi there,

To Summarize, I didn't misrepresent, it WAS literally like brand new, read one book, and indeed paid that amount for it.

Thanks very much for calling me a liar.
Thanks very much for teaching me what kind of forum this is, which I won't be reading.
It has been sold.

Have a nice day!

FYI:
Book Cover: $29.99 http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Optional-...ref=pd_sim_e_3

Dock: http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Reader-PRS-...04111008r25602

They state retail value at $50, which sounds about what I paid for it, as I mentioned, $50-75.

So, to summarize, I ask but a simple question, is this how you treat all new readers to this forum?

Thanks, and goodbye.

If you paid US$350 for a PRS-500 in June or July of this year, you were conned big-time. That's at least $100 more than you should have paid. Could you share with us where you bought it from, so that other people can be sure to avoid it? Why on Earth did you pay $350 for a PRS-500 when you could have bought a new PRS-505 - an enormously better machine - for $270?

Nobody's calling you a "liar", but $350 is such an absolutely outrageously ridiculous price to have paid for a PRS-500, that you have to understand that such a claim has to be treated with extreme scepticism. However, it was certainly not my intention to offend you, and I offer you my apologies if my post did so.
