iPhone E-mail address sells for $355 at Ebay, not the phone.
If you thought the first auction was bad, check out this one. That’s right, another iPhone email address sold for a whopping $355.00 on eBay. What’s even more surprising, the seller clearly states that this “auction is for the email address only” in both the title and description.
There were two ebay auction selling iphone name e-mail addresses only not the original iPhone. One of them the.iphone.from.apple@gmail.com sold for $112.50 and this one iPhonewholesalers@yahoo.com sold for $355. Ebay auctions are getting wackier by the minute and sadly people are bidding for in such auctions. These auctions claim that these e-mail addresses will be good to sell iphone products. I am sure after this, they will getting lot of junk mails since it is posted already in Ebay. Gmail has good Spam block, but still to wade through 1000s of e-mails to find the legit e-mail will make this experience horrible. Sometimes the auctions are fake, they have two sets of people who bid for one another and increase the prices considerably, it happens in other auctions. I don't know exactly whether these are true auctions or not. But if they really bid and buy this, they must be nuts to waste money like this. I don't know what advantage they can gain from these addresses. Maybe they will sell iPhone name websites also at Ebay. The whole thing will look odd even if Apple decides to change the name for good.
