for some people its not about the money.

its about getting their hands on it first and being the phat kid on the block. for these people thats all that matters.

the arte series nokias have that price tag. the Porsche phone is nearing that price. im just thankful RIM hasnt made a ridiculously priced phone, crafted from expensive materials to tempt me.

$700+ for a device that doesn't work (due to RIM likely turning off pre-release versions after release of the Bold)?? What a scam.

Default um... hint?

"Phone is 100% authentic, and is not warranteed do to its pre release through blackberry.

We do not guarantee or accept returns.

Phone is sold as is, and is in working condition brand new in box"

How does the lightbulb not go off for these people bidding $1300 so far on an unreleased device...?

I emailed the seller asking if I can pick up the phone since I am local.

The seller replied saying the phone is in Florida

I have again asked the seller to give us a not stock image including this ATT box which I have great doubts he can produce. If the ATT boxes have even been printed yet they are millions flat as a pancake in some warehouse. They would not pack a bold in one and send it to someone in Japan to sell to the guy.

I have no doubt he might have a phone but the ATT box, not!

So the bidding has already ended at $1850 which I have to say is just retarded. The phone is due out soon enough and why risk getting shut off from RIM.

More power to a person who has more money than brains! If they chose to throw their money away, I have some great items to sell to them.

Good luck to that "not so lucky" buyer.
