I think what the seller has done is he has ran out of the 48MB but instead of pulling the auction he Just Jacked the price way up till he got some more in stock... I was told peeps do that to save on listing fees or something

To be fair, if I was selling an old laptop and you said that to me I wouldn't have continued with the talking. I'm not having a go at you anything, just saying I've had the same experience when selling on eBay and other places, and the fact is I'm the seller - I set the price. Sure, haggle if you like, get a bit cheeky if you must, haggling is haggling... Just don't "inform" me what the product I'm selling is "actually worth" and then tell me I should sell it to you for that price almost as if you'#re doing me a favour by buying so cheaply. It's really rather irritating.

Just sayin' - though, I think it probably would have ended amicably and not with him coming across as a dick head to you had he not misspelled "mind" as "mine".

Agreed. I think the seller got offended (rightfully so) and lost his cool, but could've communicated better. My biggest pet peeve are price informers. Hagglers who tell me that prices are better or the item is on sale at so and so. If it's cheaper wherever that is, then why not just buy from there.

Having Corinne Bailey Rae instead of Macy Gray on it also gives you a substandard display, which goes all funky instead of displaying solid blacks as I seem to remember.

Ok, the price of the iPhone 2G come close to the original pricing. AND: you don't have to stand in line...

Showing a delivery from the end of December for me. Is it another inflated price to act as a placeholder until they get their hands on the actual item?

Could be. But I doubt it. It looks like a liquidator to me.
