SONY PRS-500 Reader Trade In Program?

bookratt · 05-08-2009, 05:29 PM

Has anybody done the Sony PRS-500 reader trade in program? If you buy a new PRS-505 thru the Sony store (currently only $279.99 with FREE LIMITED TIME SHIPPING), and send in the old PRS-500, they give you $100.00 rebate.

I gave my old 500 to my sister, and it finally bit the dust, so I want to upgrade her reader.

I was curious how much of a hassle dealing with Sony and this this offer was????

Thanks for your input!

I had found a PRS-500 on eBay with a cracked screen for $30 and almost bought it to do the trade-in BUT luckily I called the local Sony Store and asked and they said that it must be in working condition.

It works, but it's "stuck", but won't reset with the reset button & won't shut off. I wonder if that counts?? ha ha. Maybe I'll work with it when she gives it back to me - don't want Sony to reject my trade-in.
