Right now, I’m trying to decide if this person has really bad photoshop skills or if they made that band holder......

There’s a weird habit some of these sellers have of this crude white painting out of everything but the band, especially on some of these Hermes listings where they even paper over the lugs a bit by accident...it’s like what are you hiding? You’re not making it look like an Apple hero shot at all.

I listed a few things on eBay and it has a new “feature” that automatically try’s to take out the background with white. It comes up as default even!

Pretty sure that’s the sleeve that the light Gray band comes with? Remember that it’s an exclusive with the edition watch. Could be wrong though.
Yep, it’s the holder for Edition bands. Much smaller than the trifold.

Since I appear to have a lot of knowledgeable people responding on this. How does one tell if the dark and light gray bands are legit? Are there any markings on the bands or ?
The fact that it’s in that sleeve means they’re almost certainly legit. The color also looks right to me from the photo. Obviously it will have the size markings on it and the assembled in China, but I’m pretty sure that linked listing is the real deal.

Exactly as Jamie said. They don’t have any marking other bands don’t already have.
 
Anyone know what Apple's Magnetic Charging Dock goes for new on ebay/mercari?

I've always been curious (but not at $79), but will wait in case something changes with S6. I vaguely recall there's been at least 2 versions of this, and the old version doesn't fit the new watches perfectly?

$30 is about average. I bought mine at $27 each when averaged out.
 
Thanks @jamieinoc and @mikedop - just wasn’t sure if maybe they had something like the Hermès pins or that one Nike Labs pin. Appreciate the education I’m getting in the bands world.
They have a titanium pin but it can be hard to spot in pics. The pin doesn’t have any markings like the Hermès or Nike Lab, it’s just made of titanium.
 
you know what would be super great, if we could pay off the apple credit card with apple gift cards, get that good 3% back when buying new products with the apple CC and then paying it off with that 2% back we got on the gift cards from BB sale.....

What is everyone’s guess on whether or not they run the December 6% promotion for Card? Given that my color and size phone probably won’t be available until close to December anyway, I think I’ll try waiting.

I also just got my credit limit increased (it only takes ten minutes now!) to almost cover the outright purchase price of a PlusMaxBoeingSuperJet.

They lowered my APR about 3-4 months back, but kept the limit the same. So I guess I cannot complain.

Is this a yearly 6% promotion in December? I don't remember.

What's involved in getting your credit limit increased? Do they do a hard pull?

My APR was lowered some time recently, when a bunch of other people's were too.

I mean it’s very likely it was a launch year only thing to promote the card. Certainly the first new chassis design in almost a decade and the advent of 5G (however scammy it is) and Apple’s general strong position right now makes them not likely wanting to boost iPhone sales in this potential “super cycle.”

BUTT that same argument could also apply to them wanting to use the super cycle to boost the Card. I would head to the subreddit for specific answers. I got my first CLI in spring when my first ever credit report was posted by Goldman themselves so I don’t think they had to do any pull. But the credit industry isn’t known for making sense or being “good” or “useful” or “in it to do anything but harvest our data” so...
