Used Kindle For Sale Information

Used Kindle Brief Getting used may be OK, but it depends upon the kind of product and if doing so will really save you anything vs. buying the thing new. There are many places to get a new Kindle, but there are fewer options for purchasing a used one. Think about it: Big well-known brick and mortar stores (buildings with a store-front), usually do not carry used things. So where can one be found? . . . there are sometimes other outlets that arrange to carry and sell used Kindles.

Used Kindle Main Section So you are thinking of buying a used Kindle. Buying used may be a good idea, but it depends upon the kind of product and if doing so will really save you anything vs. buying the device new.

Besides the usual stores, there are sometimes other sellers that arrange to carry and sell used Kindles. There are two main sources. You can find used Kindles listed on Craigslist, your local alternative, and on eBay, an online choice. Although Craigslist is an option, it has drawbacks. The craigslist listings disappear after a week for any sellers who fail to maintain them. And choices are few on any given day. That was the way it was when I tried to find one here in King City, Oregon. Going to pick one up locally takes more effort, time, and some travel. Now and then when seeing a Craigslisst seller's item it is not what you expected and may not be in as good a condition as wanted, making the trip a waste of time. It also takes a bit of effort and time, including registering the device with your Amazon account, to see if the unit works right, and that is not likely to be able to be done during a Craigslist purchase. eBay is another alternative for finding used Kindles. But eBay is not a good alternative for this type of device. There most likely is usually no guarantee for a used unit from an individual. You may have better fortune with an eBay company. Either way, if the device does not match what was advertised or as expected or if the Kindle does not work right, you may be stuck with it.

Used Kindles - What People Say

Here is some discussion from an Amazon forum about going with a used Kindle:

From mobileread dot com/forums/showthread.php?t=152480 10-05-2011

"I wouldn't go to that much trouble because it just isn't worth it any more, in my opinion. You can get a new one, with warranty, for under $100 now."

"I don't ever buy used. I buy new with my credit card in order to increase the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. With new Kindles going for $79, is it really worth it to buy a used one?"

Alternatives Alternatives to a used Kindle are a refurbished one or a new one. Some people think they would rather buy a used one rather than a new one. They want it for a lower price. Although reasonable for some things, it may not be the best way for a Kindle since the cost differences are so low between new and used devices. At that rate, rather than used, why not buy new?

Kindle Models that You May Find Used: Kindle 2nd Generation; Kindle 1st Generation; Kindle Keyboard (the third generation); Kindle Keyboard 3G (has 3G and Wi-Fi Internet connectivity)

Kindle Models that You May Rareley Find Used: Kindle DX (the big screen model)

At Amazon you can search for used Kindles on a search line. Take note of variation of the same model between those with just Wi-Fi and those with both Wi-Fi and 3G wireless and between those with and those without "Special Offers," the ads vs. no-ads versions.
