All I want for Christmas is an Amazon Kindle... Christmas 08 that is
I'm a tech gadget wannabe. I'd love to have the latest and greatest, but, alas, my budget won't allow for it. Something about paying a mortgage and car note I'm told.
Still, that doesn't negate the fact that I'd love to have an Amazon Kindle! Unfortunately, there is a seven month waiting list, according to one eBayer.
Get this... this guy is offering a Kindle for auction that he doesn't even own!
Here's his description...
YOU ARE BIDDING ON A NEW UNOPEN AMAZON KINDLE E-BOOK E READER. THIS ITEM WILL BE NEW IN THE BOX UNOPEN. GET THIS WHILE YOU CAN . THIS IS A PREORDER AND WILL SHIP IN 30 DAYS END OF AUCTION. SHIPPING WILL BE FREE.GET WHILE YOU CAN. Amazon has OVER a 7 month waiting list for this item ! I ordered this only 2 hours after it sold out, so that means I am one of the FEW THAT WILL BE GETTING THIS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE!
The most amazing thing, though, is that he has 29 bidders with over 13 hours to go at the time of this writing, and the bids are up to $550!
Of course, I've set up a watch on this item, not that I'll be bidding on it of course. It's only for the pure pleasure of seeing how much people are willing to spend on a gadget they'll have to wait months to own.
That being said, I have added the Kindle to my wish list for Christmas 08. I figure they'll have made plenty by then.
BTW, in case you're feeling sorry for me and wish to send it as a gift, I promise to accept it graciously.
