It’s official, the first actual iPhones have hit eBay. These are from people that actually have pictures of the iPhone boxes, so we can assume that they are most likely real
So far the highest bid I’ve seen is $1,099 for an 8GB iPhone. The guy is offering free shipping and can ship it out today if you use the “Buy it now” feature. The guy got in such a hurry that he forgot to even add the button for it.
People, these may be real iPhones, but here’s an idea. If you’re that desperate to get one, why not just wait until the Apple online store opens back up and order one on there. If you can’t manage to get one then, perhaps think about eBay if you’re desperate.

WOW! I can’t believe nobody has noticed this yet… Is everyone seriously that engulfed in this iPhone that nobody noticed this?!?
If you check out the eBay Cell Phone store for iPhones you’ll see about 1,548 (at last count) posts for iPhones for sale… the best part is that if you check the ones that people are actually bidding on (including one for 15,500,400.00 with 68 bids, at time of writing) you’ll see that all the bids for all the iPhones are coming from what seems to be a “fake” set of users which are named “Bidder #” and seem to be ranging from “Bidder 1″ to “Bidder 16″ and beyond.
Is someone playing games with iPhone owning eBayers or did JesusJobs decide that he wants to reward those that waited in line?… The world may never know!
Ebay hides the ID of bidders and will only show the names as ‘bidder 1′ ‘bidder 2′ etc.
iPhones are still IN STOCK at EVERY Apple store in the country. Why would someone buy one on eBay. Even those without credit can get one (in fact, then they don’t even have a contract – and still pay the same price for the phone).
iPhones dont go to 1k on ebay, plus that image isnt a winning bid auction. It ranges from 600-680 for a iPhone on ebay.
This is funny. What these people didn’t think about before they spent two months rent on a phone is that the demand may be high, but so is the supply! Duh, this isn’t x-mas season where they only made 1,000 units and people are killing each other to get one before Christmas morning. There are plenty of phones and like someone else said, just order one from Apple’s online store. Anyone who spends more than the listed Apple retail price to get one of these phones deserves to get ripped off.
lol- iPhones are going for about $700 on eBay now; look like people are starting to figure out they can still get one at the Apple store for about $599…
