It's literally amazing, the prices have crashed fast in the past few days, and instead of waiting until demand picks up again, they're just trying to unload it faster causing them to lower their prices
True, the phones sell for 600+, which theyre getting for 200.
What I wonder if these accounts are being flagged if they hit a certain X# of lines being made / AOL transfers done.
When I went to return my brother's preorder on his iPhone 6, they saw 4 other iPhone 6s (2 lines already given away) on the family plan and were really confused. Luckily I managed to misidirect them with a question/comment and they didn't bring it up again.

I understand how it works just fine I have over 3k auctions completed on ebay but this takes the cake. I am trying to sell just 1 line not 30 or 40 of them like you are selling for $150 each.
Got my first hiccup:
"Thank you for your recent Apple Online Store purchase. We are unable to
process your iPhone order as it exceeds the quantity limits per
customer.
As a result, we've cancelled your order and you will not be charged. We
apologize for any inconvenience."
Is there a limit on how many we can get? Or is it a limit on how many of the same models we can get? I've mostly gotten 16gb space grey iphone 6. Tried my luck on another after I picked up another and got this message? Hope this isn't over for me.

Interesting. I just called VZW and tried to re-activate the old line with a new MTN but they couldn't do it. At first they said sure, but then the rep realized she couldn't. Either I port back the original number, or the line must cancel. I asked if they could process the cancellation today rather than wait to the end of the billing cycle, and again the rep said sure, but then had to backtrack the statement. Since there is already a cancellation order in she can't submit a new one (and she can't cancel the other order, either.)
Okay, I will call Verizon and see if I can port back my old number (which is on Google Voice) into an unlimited line. I talked to a Verizon online chat to cancel the suspended line, but she said wait until the end of bill date.
Let's see if I get some wacky issue for doing this.
Follow-up to my own post. A few minutes after I hung up with VZW I checked the MyVerizon web page, and low and behold, the suspended line was gone. The rep did manage to at least process the cancel request effective immediately vs. waiting for my billing cycle date. I then called back to initiate the port request (since we believe the online system is down). The rep ended up forwarding me to an automated system to take the request. It took about 5 minutes. Checking the status of the port online (verizonwireless.com/port) or via 888-844-7095 says that the request has been made, but no response has been received from the other carrier (Google Voice in this case.)
Anyway.. just thought I'd share my experience.
I've got a question for the experts here:
If I were to AOL one of these unlimited lines, would that start a new account for me?
After I have established a new account, can I go to apple.com and order additional unlimited lines?
I'd like to have 2 lines ultimately - the primary line being used for data in an ipad/hotspot and then add a second line porting over my current cell number.
Can anyone here shed some light on this please?
Additionally, anyone have any lines currently available?

I have 5 new lines I'm looking
to offload for $100 each. Let me know
Could you please send me an email?

I just called instead to try to cancel it today since you said it disappeared from your Verizon account. The rep said it would automatically cancel at the end of the billing cycle, and that she can't do anything.
Well at least that part is consistent...
They did offer me 50% off the line for 12 months if I wanted to keep the 2GB tiered line though!

Nah - side account.
Haven't received anything from you?
I have decided to give away my Iphone 6 for free with purchase of my unlimited data line
Tempting
I may just get it.Even under contract, these should easily be selling for $300+. Good to see that I unloaded my unlimited data lines before this $100 mess.
For me (at this point) it's not about the money. It's about a small compensation for helping out someone else. I've sold enough for $350 - $400 via eBay and another forum.

I can understand if it's not about the money but it's sad to see these plans going for so low on ebay now. Instead of everyone working together to make these more valuable, it's just a race to the bottom.

Value is held in how hard it would have been for a seller and even a potential buyer to obtain these plans
a buyer can easily become a seller because of this verizon made 'glitch' via Apple.com. If it was harder for anyone to get these plans than it would hold more value for a seller... I am working together though. With a buyer the race is to get as many UDP into exists before this glitch gets got 
Do any of you guys have problems with your orders getting cancelled? Not because of an item limit, but just straight being cancelled? It's very frustrating. I've tried everything from Credit Cards to Apple Gift Cards to prepaid cards, orders are just getting cancelled now
It's not about the money to me. It's about the potential of network congestion. With all this flood of unlimited data user there's going to be some 4g abuser in the bunch slowing down network for the rest of us. It's like having a nice day at the beach and suddenly the whole place is just too crowded with people to be able to swim leisurely or play freesby without running into someone.For me (at this point) it's not about the money.

Then I guess your problem is with verizon since they are unofficially sponsoring this 'glitch'
now verizon, that is a greedy company, will have many more unlimited data users, lets see them try to throttle us again, mess with the FCC and loose so many new customers. its a win win for all of us.
