Interestingly, there are no Kindles for sale on eBay right now.  There had been one, but according to the eBay results of that sale, it was sold as a “Buy It Now” item.  The starting bid had been $499 for the Kindle — $100 above the current retail price.

While there has been speculation that the dearth of Kindles on eBay is the result of each Kindle being “personalized” to a specific Amazon.com account, it is still surprising that Kindles aren’t showing up on eBay.

Only time will tell what this means, but it’s possible that all the Kindle owners are happy with their purchase (at least at the moment) and aren’t willing to sell their new baby for the $100 (or so) profit they might be able to get on eBay.
