3/24/12 Purchase Summary Addendum

When I was going to bed last night I realized I didn't discuss the circumstances of buying the Kindle.  Yes, I mentioned that he immediately accepted my lowball (which means I payed too much), but I didn't discuss the conditions in which I found the item.

The Kindle was not somewhere that it could be easily found.  It was sitting on a desk the seller was selling that was sitting away from and behind the bulk of his items.  Obviously, if a small, high-value item is sitting away from the bulk of your items the chances of someone who is willing to pay a fair price for it seeing it are much smaller.  Furthermore, the Kindle was in a generic, unmarked case that I initially assumed was a calendar.  
The case looks like this but it zips up fully

Whenever I see an unmarked protective case, I always check it.  Usually it holds business cards, a calendar, CD's, or it's empty.  Yesterday it paid off.
