Determine whether you want to auction sell your Kindle reading device, sell it at a set price or a combination of the two. You may auction the Kindle and set a "Buy Now" price that customers can pay to cancel your auction any time before the first bid is placed. Set a starting bid price that is lower than retail and market value, but does not disqualify potential for profit if you elect to auction. Low starting bid prices attract customers, but the starting bid may be your only bid for your Kindle. Using a set price ensures that you sell the Kindle at a price with which you are comfortable, but you may not attract as many customers as with an auction.

Stock used Kindle devices for sale in your eBay store if possible. eBay is a popular destination for customers seeking used goods at discount prices.
