$750+ on eBay for an iPhone?? I don't get it. I lost mine over the weekend and went into the at&t store and bought a new 3G for $200. I wouldn't have even paid that if I had a choice, but I gotta have a phone. As a side note, I ended up getting my lost phone back , and have listed it on ebay, and it looks like I'll profit about $100 for getting wasted and leaving my phone in a cab. My karma must be allsome....
Maybe they live in a country where you can't buy them yet? That's the only thing I could think of. Otherwise, stupid.
or- fraud. hijack a legit account- bid up the phone (or whatever) above its cost, send you a 'certified' check that accidentally was drawn for $300 more than it was supposed to be and viola! fraud for dummies its becomming so rampant that it has the potential to literally bring eBay down. MSNBC had a report about 4 months ago that anywhere from 10-15% OF ALL AUCTIONS every day were either fake/fraud items, faux items sold as real (like designer purses and clothes), or had fraud bids win them. In fact in specific sections- "autographs, sports memorabilia, and designer clothes; almost 75% of the postings were considered to be "suspect"
