Too many rich Apple fanboys in the world.

But isn't the iphone 4 already out? Why would someone want a prototype?!

almost 1 million bucks

Current bid: US $1,725.00

safe to assume it's stolen property. buying this will probably result in a visit from the police.

who pays that much for a beta version of a phone that has been out for a year and currently waits for its successor to be released in a couple of days?

it's an ultra-rare prototype that can't be acquired by normal means. hence, it's worth a lot of money, especially to collectors. think "boc test pressing white label vinyl" and you'd be close.

i still don't get why it said $999.999 at first (with 63 bids) and then dropped to $1725 (with only 19 bids).

I'm sure it's made the rounds on the net and a ton of people were just bidding to bid.

Due to non-legitimate bidders I am canceling "some" bidders and I am requesting all potential buyers to EMAIL ME FIRST. If you don't email me OR If you don't have "appropriate feedback" your bid will be cancelled. Thank you

This makes it seem shady to me:

UPDATE:

Payment will not be accepted using paypal due to high fees and fraud. I WILL ONLY ACCEPT Cashier check and only after it clears I will then ship the item.

If you're not sure about buying PLEASE DON'T BID, ask questions. Thank you

+ no returns......
