A $1,495 Kindle for big spenders—plus some holiday buying tips for the more frugal
Kindle sellers are aiming for “Buy It Now” prices as high as $1,495 on eBay.
The $1,494 is hardly typical, but it still reflects the demand, now that customers must wait weeks and weeks for new Kindles to arrive from Amazon itself.

David, thanks for the mention. I’ve heard from at least a half dozen who managed to grab a refurb Kindle after I posted the tip and they went out of stock this morning, but one at a time have been popping back up. I suspect they will now add them as they are returned and ready to go, so those who want one now will have to check several times a day and be ready to order when they are in stock.
