My iPhone on eBay

[NickfromWI]

I bought my 16GB iPhone a few months ago. $500 (actually, a friend works for apple, so I got it for $425). A week or so ago they released the new model. Twice as fast for half the price. Tempting. But I can't really justify it.

Then I think...well...maybe I can get $50 on eBay for my phone. That will take the sting out a bit. I check it out, and the old phones are going for MORE than the new, fast phones.

I put mine up. Auction ends this Sunday. Could be fun to watch. I'm hoping for $300.

See it here to follow along.

Had a Razor... and a million little pieces of paper with names, numbers addresses, bids, notes to myself. Then the razor conveniently died the week before the 3g came out. I didn't hesitate, took Friday off and waited in line... with 3 really gorgeous chicks I might add.

I've killed three Razors. I still like them though. I would like an iPhone but do not want to switch to ATT.

 

[NickfromWI]

You need an unlocked iphone, then.

I've killed three Razors. I still like them though. I would like an iPhone but do not want to switch to ATT.

That was my exact feeling about it. I was really happy with Verizon service and didn't want to switch. I've been surprised at AT&Ts coverage and signal quality though. The 3G coverage is better than their maps show and the voice quality is dramatically better than Verizon, especially talking to someone else on a digital signal. I haven't used it out in the boonies yet though so the jury's still out.

 

[NickfromWI]

4 hours left...it's up to $330!

 

[NickfromWI]

Hour to go, it's up to $425...exactly what I paid for it (got it w/ a "friends of apple" discount)

 

[Blinky]

That's a trip. How often do you think that happens with digital electronics? Almost never. Good on ya!

 

[Paul B]

sounds like Nick is buying the first round!

$477! Way to go Nick!

 

[NickfromWI]

Funny, guys!

It ended up closing at $477. I pretty much can't believe it. That is $50 more than I paid for it. That is more than double a brand new super updated iphone. That is more than a new iphone PLUS the ATT cancellation fees.

The winner wants it shipped to Vietnam. I think it's part of a biz scheme.

Lucky them. Lucky me!!!

[NickfromWI]

The guy already paid.


Awesome!!!

Quite sure I could sell his phone for an easy $200. I saw a few postings on the local craiglist of people claiming they'd pay $300 and some up to $400 for a 16gb gen 1 iphone. I was sketched out about meeting someone in that scenario.
