Good grief...and that’s just bc it’s not available anymore. Wonder if anyone from on here is bidding — good luck if you are.

In most cases/for each release, it seems when they are gone, they are gone...which is also why I paid $180 on eBay for a Nike Sport in Blue Orbit last summer. :confused:

He also is selling a Yellow Sport and a FIRST-gen (PRODUCT)RED Sport as well. Yellow is already up to $111. -_-

I bought my original yellow with box a few weeks ago for $26 on the Posh site. Looked brand new.

Sunflower is here. One of the most beautiful and underrated Watch straps Apple has ever released (and had such a short shelf life too)

Just in case Space Orange is in this instance a typo for Spicy Orange, I have now bought this boxless sport band. Soon I shall know for certain if it’s a genuine spicy by comparing it with the other oranges apricots flamingos pinks and reds in the collection. An OEM woven nylon “space orange and anthracite” loop exists so im now wondering if Apple invented this cosmic citrus hue after rewatching the kaleidoscopic climax of Kubrik’s 2001: A Space Odyssey? (To my knowledge Apple haven’t dared release their ‘Clockwork Orange’ shade yet ;-) ) In the UK there was also something called a space hopper in the 1970s..... which was orange... space orange...... dig?

For those of you trying to get discontinued bands, try contacting Apple Chat Support and explain you already have the band and it’s damaged and want to order a replacement which you would pay for. They will charge you shipping and it comes out to around $60 USD give or take.

I’ve already procured 42” Ultraviolet and Spicy Orange bands this way. Only caveat is you won’t get the original box as it comes in a different packaging, but all else is the same.

What you are doing is advocating fraud, which is wrong on many levels.

I am not sure who it’s really hurting other than people trying to make a profit on eBay.

Your paying Apple full retail price which they make a nice mark up on. I don’t see this as fraud.
I agree. Apple seemingly has some stock and maybe it won’t work for every band color. Buying bands on eBay is ridiculously expensive but some people, me included in the past, are willing to pay if the band is rare and/or out of production. Also, Apple employees themselves make money that they “probably shouldn’t” by selling exclusive bands they receive from Apple.

Ocean and Cobalt. Blue Cobalt appears bolder.

Tried this and they said they can only see what’s in the online store and don’t have any spare stock. I’m in Australia.
