It appears that there are now more Kindles on the secondary market and there are quite a few Kindles available on eBay for a “Buy It Now” price between $500 and $600.  That’s not as high as it was around the holiday season, but it still reflects a premium over the $399 retail price at Amazon.com.  If you can’t wait for Amazon.com to deliver, looks like eBay and some extra dollars is the way to go.

“Buy It Now” prices for Kindles on eBay are coming down.  Right now you can buy a Kindle from $399 to $789, a significant decrease from just a short time ago.   Apparently, more Kindles are coming onto the market and are helping to reduce “Buy It Now” prices.

Amazon.com is still not promising any particular time for delivery of Kindles.  At its website, it suggests that customers order Kindle now to reserve their place in line.

Amazon says its working hard to manufacture Kindles as quickly as possible and are prioritizing orders on a first come, first served basis.

At this point, people who are interested in a date certain for Kindle delivery have eBay to rely on, but must pay a premium for the ability to get their Kindle sooner rather than later.

Although it’s now after Christmas (when you’d expect there’d be more Kindles on the market), “Buy It Now” prices are still high on eBay.  There is only one “Buy It Now” Kindle available at eBay – for $999.  That’s quite a bit higher than the $399 price that Amazon.com is charging — although Amazon.com does have a delay with deliveries.

With Christmas almost here, the number of Kindles on eBay has shrunk greatly.  Right now there are only ten Kindles at auction and the lowest “Buy It Now” price is $1,000.   It will be interesting to see what happens to Kindle pricing on eBay after Christmas — when demand will presumably be less and Amazon will be shipping more Kindles.

Looks like Kindle’s are holding their own on eBay.  Right now you can get one on a “Buy It Now” basis for $825.  That’s still quite a premium over the regular $399 purchase price at Amazon.com — but there’s no wait involved.

At the moment, it looks like the cheapest, “for sure” purchase you can make of a Kindle is as an eBay “Buy It Now” deal.  The least expensive offer appears to be this one going for $748.50.
