Now I’ve seen it all. There’s a “Jesus Toast iPhone” on Ebay. Good Lord!

Common give those people a chance! After all their chances of getting rich quick are higher than buying a lottery ticket!

Those prices are hilarious! These people think they’ll really “get rich quick” by selling a few iphones for over 25x it’s list price? It reminds me of a story that was on digg.. of a woman who was trying to buy 16 iphones, but they allowed her only 1, after she already paid some kid $800 for his spot in the front of the line. (no she didn’t get her $800 back either..haha)

Just when I started to think a little more of humanity…..

If the dumb asses at Golden Palace want to go for that, they’re more than welcome to.

But the big picture that Eric’s talking about, people lining up for days to grab an iPhone and head straight for eBay, its like the modern day get rich quick scheme.

The same thing happened with the last three gaming consoles (wii, 360, ps3). I can’t remember much of this “sleep outside for days to make a couple hundred dollars off of something that somebody who may have actually wanted to use can no longer get” process back when I was a kid.

It’s very sleazy on Apple’s part to create this supply and demand craze. It looks like they significantly overestimated initial sales anyways, so there are plenty of iPhones to go around.

I’m nervous, I think someone might actually get sucked into the hype of the “world record” and buy it..

I have to agree that if someone buys one for that much in auction, they should be killed. They might as well wait the extra couple weeks until all stores are able to restock and purchase without a line at a store.

What I find funny is the money that people are wasting to actually list them on eBay for that much. I am curious as to how much it would cost to list an auction with a buy it now price of a million bucks. I am not sure if the buy it now pricing is tiered the same way normal starting bid prices are, but if so, its gotta be a decent “fee”.

I guess the million dollar guy didnt look at the other auctions to see that someone is trying to sell if for 21 mil, I think he may loose his record chance.

I must sincerely agree with you. It is mind-blowingly sad to look through that image and see how humanity has transgressed.

These people all need to get a grip on real life. Iphones are not that important, they will break if you drop them and they will get old. So the gagillion dollars they get for the phone will all be ridiculously wasted if anyone actually purchases one.

Idiots.
