It has been confirmed that a demo kindle was able to successfully register with amazon after "simple debricking". It appears that these kindle demo units contain a valid serial number at this time, but they still COULD be flagged as "lost or stolen" at some point in the future if amazon decides to change their policy regarding resale of demo kindles.

TYVM for all of the incredible replies here - some here and some PMs
Friend is now trying to dump the original Kindle units - many of which are Demo units. I sense he won't have as much luck with those because from all I have seen those things are pretty much paper weights, right? |

A lot of demo kindles have been successfully "debricked" and registered now.

I have never seen any proof the Demo DX units can be made to do anything but the annoying demo. Those Demo DX Graphites, in good shape, can be purchased for $30. If they can be modified to be viable then something in that picture does not make sense...

Yeah, me too. The $99 DX demos on ebay are apparently garbage (and certainly are after shipping in a bubble-wrap envelope).
Where ARE these good ones, for so cheap? I just bought the demo K4 and K5 that just closed moments ago on ebay, and I have bids on the other demo K5. I hope nobody here was bidding against me. Even they cost a lot more than $30 each. |

Ah, so that was you! Sorry I've bumped a price up a little bit.

Here is a large lot at $35 each or best offer. That includes delivery. A direct sale, (subtract out the flebay and paypal fees) and they are less than $30 per unit.

Hmmm... and the other question is: even if they arrive in a working state - what on earth are you going to do with 200 Kindles?

24 kindles on this one. The bid is going higher and higher. Too bad...all I want is just one with a nice screen so I can fix it up and read comics on =p If they sold them in good condition $65 each...they would sell. |

Bidding against each other does not seem fair to us though. We need to cooperate. |
