Are the Scalpers loosing money?

[dlondon]

Given what I witnessed at one store, I'm not entirely sure that the scalpers are selling everything on eBay because there is far more stock being brought than being sold on eBay. I suspect some are advertising via eBay and then selling off eBay but I think a lot are likely to be exported abroad.

Keep in mind some people might get upgrade or new line pricing then sell the iPhone. Not all of the iPhones on eBay for resale were purchased at full retail price.

lol guilty. I'm used to seeing phone prices at the unsubsidized price so I forgot buying subsidized was even an option XD

From what I witnessed today a lot of the people buying the phones were using new credit cards (some even had the activate stickers still on) and were passing them around from person to person. Looked very dodgy to say the least!

The going rate from what I could tell was £40 for someone to go in and buy a phone for the scalpers...

Pretty sure they will ensure somehow they dont loose money...
