One just sold on Ebay for $4,324 should be well worth his time.

But he is right. People can order them online and don't need to wait for a freakin phone. They are all idiots who do. I did it once for the iPhone 5 and haven't since.

Idiots is a pretty needless thing to say in any regard.

Waiting was the only option many people had of possibly, no matter how improbable, of getting a launch day phone.

I ordered and was confirmed for a 256 Black ATT 7Plus. I'm currently in preparing to ship status. So...I'm probably not getting a launch day phone.

Many people were online actually trying to preorder while watching shipping times get worse and worse. If they did stay on and order a phone they were more than likely given a week or more delivery date AFTER launch day.

Unless the winner doesn't pay for days or not at all, or are scammed by the eBayer by making a claim that they received an empty box. Out the phone and the money

Is it that important to have it on launch day? Will a day, a week, a month really matter that much?

Yeah, mine shows the 23rd of Sept as well and I ordered at 2:01 CST.

What idiot would pay over $4k for a iphone. More power to the ebay seller, lots of stupid people in the world.

What's important to some people is their(correct spelling) choice.

 

[Xprmntr]

A rich idiot

 

[Complex757]

The funny thing is they had a jet black 7+ for the display model

 

[joeptp]

Be careful selling on eBay. Buyer can easily claim empty box and eBay buyers protection is extremely hard to fight. So if I were you, I would do a full video of you going to UPS/Fedex/USPS, having the staff box up the iPhone and putting the shipping label on the box with the buyers info. Document all you can cause if you get that "buyer did not receive item as described" from eBay, your screwed.

Well if this makes the OP feel better - local news here in the flagship Palo Alto store:

The good - Tim Cook on hand to take selfies with the first few people in line.
The bad - 1st person wanted a 7+ and there were zero available.

It's fake. People were troll bidding and have zero intention of paying $4k for a ****ing phone that you can get by walking into a store in a few weeks.

That is a total fake. Look at the last photo. Idiot scammer shows the single camera of the 7 model.

 

[SisterBlue22]

Just got home from my store (Gilbert, AZ) and they had zero Pluses available.

 

[macduke]

Seriously you will be only one of a handful of people that will have a JB phone tomorrow. You can probably name your own price on Ebay for that.

Mine is reserved for pickup this evening. I've considered that. It's kind of a dick thing to do though, but some of those are just richer people who didn't want to get up in the middle of the night to preorder. I just saw a 256GB 7 Plus on ebay for $1350 with 12 bids and 6h left. Some other bids are starting to creep up too.

 

[bunnicula]

I am shocked people are surprised by these turn of events.

As am I.

 

[aliensporebomb]

Anecdotally: went to two carrier stores and two Best Buy locations.

The ONLY plus of any variety I saw was being unboxed to set up as a display model. They had all kinds of the smaller 7 but zero pluses. One of the staff at Best Buy indicated that Apple pretty much reserved the plus for themselves.

Take that for what it's worth.
