Where do Kindles go after they break… the Re-sale market. I came across the Kindle re-sale market while checking prices for used Kindles. I have been debating whether to sell my Kindle DX to help fund my iPad purchase.
Bids for Kindles on BigDeal, an auction site, start at .01 - and typically sell for $150, which is $100 less than on Amazon.
BigDeal.com
I also found,
Luciddeals.com
Where Kindles claim to be selling for $64.95.
I contacted Amazon and inquired about the legitimacy of these sites. Amazon’s response,
“Hello Louie,
It appears that these devices are re-sales of our devices. In the event that these devices are not reported as previously lost or stolen, they will be covered by our 1-year manufacturer warranty from the date of original purchase. We can obtain the information about the original order if you were to get the device and have the serial number.
I haven’t ruled out selling my DX - but I am strongly considering purchasing a spare 6in Kindle. As always, caveat emptor.

Can’t say I haven’t thought about that too. I was drooling from the iPad commercial…
