I just came back from a wonderful wedding near Lyon, France last week-end in a wonderful castle, the Chateau De Chavagneux. I was discussing with family and friends the Apple passion (hysteria?) happening right now, and my father told me that maybe he could try the iPhone 2g now (this is his phone, I hide myself when he uses it, I am afraid that it might explode …), and that it might be a good time to buy one.
This morning, like the good son than I am, I went to Craigslist to try to source the market. And well, I am appalled …
I have always been admiring how Apple managed to create a passion around its products and their launches (even though some decisions are debatable …).
However, I am sick of the noise and what I found this morning almost made me scream while rolling on the floor laughing: Line pass tickets selling for $100, iPhone 3G selling for $1100 bucks, and even iPhone 2G selling in 3G box (”Wow ! Supa-duppa cool !! I have a 3G box !!”).
Here they are:
Brand New iPhone 3G, 16gb black - In Box - $1100
Sold out everywhere - selling my brand new iPhone 3G, 16gb black. No Contract!
iPhone 3G Line Pass - for Apple 14th Str location - $100
Skip the line and get the new iPhone 3G!
I was granted a pass yesterday for spending six hours in the queue.This pass is valid only for today (Tue) at West 14th Street Apple store location until midnight.
2G 16GB iphone UNLOCKED w/ the 3G Box - $490
[…] ***This is the 2G iphone***,the box is for the 3G. […]
