Does anyone know what the iPhone 4S buying/selling price is in China? I'm lining up for 1 phone for myself and my friend is planning on selling his when he flies back on the 15th.

Anyone know how much of a premium they're going for?

As far as I know, the price in China is about ¥6000(16GB),¥7000(32GB) now,but it will go down after 2-3 months

Of course ,I'm in shanghai now, iPhone in Chinese market always out of stock,some people here long for this device,so the price can be that high.

Well I mean, it's a pretty low price considering it's $730 CAD * 6 = 4400 RMB - so only 2000 RMB profit, didn't the iPhone 4 16gb sell for over 9000 RMB before? lol

Sorry for misunderstanding ,it's surely that someother people sell iPhone 4s for about ¥10000,but I can say that such price cannot last long ,and with this price some people won't buy it until it goes low,because they know this is not the real price .
When iPhone 4 came out ,some period the price is ¥14000,but it is only ¥4999 now,I guess you can understand it.

Yeah, I was just seeing how much of a premium they are commanding in the first week :)

You information is way out of date. It was sold for that expensive back when there was no official carrier for iphone in China.
