Anyone looking to pick up an Amazon Kindle for the holidays seems to be out of luck as Amazon has once again sold out of the Kindle. Current expected shipping times for a new Kindle are being listed as “11 to 13 weeks” and given that, some may start looking for alternate ways to make a purchase.
Amazon is offering, when available, refurbished models that are selling for $329. Not much of a discount, but with such a popular item I guess that is a fair price. Of course, as of this posting even those are sold out as well. However, there are some alternative methods, but as you can expect, they are not going to be cheap. The Amazon marketplace currently has some “used - like new” models that are available, which are priced anywhere from $500 even up to $1,500.
Finally, for those that are really desperate, there is always eBay. Heck, with prices like this, I am almost tempted to part with mine.
