Kindle 3 for $45 on eBay. Is it scam or not?
Few hours ago I saw this link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Amazon-Kindl...item27b57576dd They are selling Kindle 3 for $45 bucks! Could it be true? Almost 180 readers were sold within 2 hours... |

It may be for real, but I certainly wouldn't want to be the one to confirm it.

Agree, but I also saw it on alibaba.com for $30 (if you decide to take 1000 readers)

Hell, I may buy one just to see if it's legit. If so, it'll be a present.
If they are fakes, the guy selling them is in for a sh*t storm of negative feedback once they are shipped. The feedback he has is pretty good, actually. Interesting. |

Genuine cellphone made in China is one thing, fake Chinese cellphone is something completely different. (Have you heard about Airphone?) I bet it is a fake Kindle that looks like Kindle but comes with cheap fake hardware.

I agree it's probably fake, but the ad is CLEARLY advertising it as genuine.
If it's fake when it arrives, I'm going on a rampage with this guy (getting Amazon/eBay/PayPal involved for copyright infringement). We'll see. |

It does say you have ebay buyer protection. Not sure what that means precisely.
