Kindle 2 Trade In Values
When the Kindle 2 was released in February I wondered if ebay would become the place to pick up a cheap Kindle 1. I have two college aged readers and thought that the introduction of a new Kindle would mean that people would be dumping the older version at bargain prices. I was hoping to pick one up for them on the cheap.
Heading on over to ebay, I was surprised. I wasn’t surprised by the lack of Kindle 1’s. People were definitely selling their Kindle ebook readers and moving up to the Kindle 2. However, the Kindle 1 was nearly as expensive as the new Kindle 2.
So with the recent addition of the Kindle DX, I wondered if people would start unloading Kindle 2 units to help finance the new DX purchase.
And I am surprised again. The used Kindle 2’s are still selling for upwards of $275! And you can buy a new Kindle 2 from Amazon for $299!
If this pattern continues to repeat, you may very well be able to sell your Kindle used on ebay and recover a large portion of the original purchase price!
What other electronic device lets you do that?!
