[Mobile] iPhone sell price record ??

Click for full size
I know ebay can be a crazy place sometimes, however this auction for an iPhone 5s in gold (not solid gold or even plated) really takes the cake ! (»www.ebay.com/itm/s/111540608836)

Brand new seller. This is typical.

Its a GSM iPhone probably purchased by somebody in Russia. There is only one way to ship to Russia with actual signature confirmation - 99.9% of eBay sellers have no idea about this until they get burned.

So what will happen is this naive seller will ship the phone in good faith and in a month the buyer will claim they never received it. eBay will take the money from the seller, give it to the buyer and now the buyer has a free iPhone.

Interesting scenario. You would think, if it's a scam, he could have done it on a far less expensive auction, with another "new" seller.

eh they fight over them driving the price up. I listed an iPhone 4 once - it brought $1200 never saw or heard from the purchaser.

They will likely try to scam the seller into thinking they received a PayPal payment when they actually didn't...had that trick thrown at me multiple times, but never got fooled.

Also interesting that the buyer's feedback is "private".
