iPad Pro Crazy ebay auctions

[Newtons Apple]

Smart keyboard for $250-500 and pencil from $150-$299???

WTF, some people got 6 unpoened pencils in hand, and we got nothing even no expected shipment info from apple.

Shouldn't they control the purchase per person for keyboard and pencil in current sitation?

Someone should be fired for this bad inventory management and ridiculous "Pre-order" (always late than retail store) system since iphone 6...

Pretty normal for eBay. You need to remember that to some $250 is pocket change.

That you can get new peoduct by just walking in store without reservation at launch date, and laugh at those "preorders" waiting their shipment until next week?? ；-)

THIS! A lot of us are the ones getting up (or staying up!) for midnight launches for pre-orders, and have been doing so for products for years. Now it's getting to be near pointless, as those of us near an Apple store can walk in the morning of release and have a great chance of walking out with exactly what we want, while the ones who pre-ordered are still waiting for theirs in the mail. It makes me a little sad, because it diminishes that feeling of being a dedicated fanboy or fangirl whose "work" pays off. That thrill and excitement gets throttled down a bit. All first-world problems, of course, but it's still a step backward for Apple Retail and PR, I feel.

I saw pencils selling on eBay for 500.00 bucks at one point. I thought about selling it but I'm loving it way to much to give it up.

I flipped one and bought one for myself. Pretty much got mine for free.. Oh well thus is life.

You suck.

I was planning to try and flip my pencil when it arrived yesterday, but as soon as I got home, I opened it up and started drawing with it. After about half an hour of using it, I realized that I wasn't supposed to open it. The ipp is so much better now. I'm using it to write notes while reading for my accounting class.

You were planning to suck.

Don't feed the scalpers. I can wait until my online order ships in December but I'm not giving a dime to these people. Good luck.

Yea its pretty crazy.

It also wouldn't be crazy for Apple to only sell to iPad Pro owners either. Like show proof of purchase.
I mean.... why buy one if you don't even have one (other than to resell)?

Uhhhh, there is this thing know as the "holiday season" coming up. Call me silly, but I do recall some quaint notion of people actually purchasing items, and then actually GIVING those items to other people.

All joking aside, the limit should be TWO. One for yourself, one for someone else. End of story, no exemptions. If you need 3 or more, bring more people with you to purchase.
