Apple 1 Million Dollar iPhone

[Gh0sti]

Well we all know that Apple fan boys love Apple products (thanks to Steve Jobs) and because of this their products are a lil more expensive (try 3x more) than competition.

Some guy on ebay got a beta testing iPhone 4, it does not activate on AT&T network but it works just fine, here is the ebay link if you dont believe me, I feel bad for the guy but here is my idea of why its so high, LulzSec must be pulling a prank all the bidders joined today and bid it up to 1million within one hour after 100k

Yep. fake bids alright.

 

[Gh0sti]

If you look at the questions the first one is

Q: Hi, just wondering how you got the phone and if it's something I won't have to give up in the future for whatever reason.... if I win. I'm a Huge apple fan! Thanks for your time. Jul-03-11
A: I am a licensed cell phone repairman, this iPhone was bought from a person who really didn't know who he had. He couldn't activate it so just simply wanted to sell it. This iPhone was bought as for parts only. As far as the legality part - phone was bought legally. Good luck

This just shows what can be done using the eBay system.

 

[FireGrey]

i don't see it...

 

[shakirmoledina]

if apple products were not expensive enough for u, this is the time for u to believe so
i remember a pre released ps3 sold for 10k.

 

[Bladexdsl]

if anyone actually pays that than they need a swift kick in the back of the head!

First off, I don't really think this is news (more off-topic then anything), but wow.

I was expecting something like an iPhone encrusted with jewels, gems, and plated with 24k gold, platinum, and kryptonite. Not a stupid prototype...

I think that the poster has 2-3 accounts and is trying to fool the peoples

That's why I just moved it. Three/two guys placing ridiculously high fake bids thinking that they're funny does not qualify as a news.

 

[AlanJohn]

I would have bought it if it was a prototype iphone 5.

Nononono, if someone actually pays that then I should sell them some of my stuff.

 

[Nathan Drake]

The number has fallen drastically to a not too terribly unrealistic $1,725.

 

[Sop]

I would have bought it if it was a prototype iphone 5 29 with 6.8ghz processor and 6800x4500 resulotion with nvidia ion 8 graphics chip.

 

[Joe88]

I see people are still placing fake bids

now its at $100

 

[dickfour]

That's why I kick anyone with zero feedback off my auctions. The listing was removed.
