My latest bid is $1500. How high should I go. I didn't plan on spending anymore than 2300 for the phone, but I really need this phone so I am thinking of offering up to $3,750.

Advice?

you're spending $1500 to show off a phone to friends? Just wait 2-3wks and you can walk into an Apple Store and get one.
 
The OP has the money to spend and wants it now... What is the big deal?

I don't understand why so many people get so irritated over this.

Good luck bidding, OP. Don't listen to the naysayers and haters, it's all just jealousy.
 
For 3700 I will go buy an iPhone and a plane ticket and hand it to you in person.

i don't think anyone is being a hater, some people get overly hyped and caught up in the moment. Sometime it takes others or a voice or reason to bring clarity. Its happens to me when purchase sites and negotiating deals... And, guess what my business partner or friends put it in to prospective.

i would take this deal, OP. personal service...id rather pay 3700 to someone like this than to some tool of a scalper on ebay

Yeah, that one. It's because we are not civilised enough to execute our criminals. Go figger.
 
My thread gets locked questioning why gold is a girls color and this thread thrives. Oh okay then..........

spoken like someone who doesn't have a bloody clue about what they are talking about.

BL.
 
The joke is on those who would spend $1000+ .:rolleyes:

I spent $1225 on my gold 64gb. A few hundred more for an in demand product that isn't available for another month and I wanted it. I work hard and make good money to buy things I want. Nothing wrong with that. Now the people spending $1500 and up, double what the phone is worth...thats a bit steep.

You are assuming they will just be easy to walk in and get, they wont be. You will have to either stand in line for hours and hope to get one or order one now and wait a month.

No.

You are paying a HIGH premium for a phone that will become ubiquitous in a week. For now, here is my valuation of iphones.

iPhone 5 16gb: $400-475
iPhone 5 32gb: $450-525
iPhone 5 64gb: $500-575

(Gray/White/Gold)
iPhone 5s 16gb: 750/750/850
iPhone 5s 32gb: 870/900/1000
iPhone 5s 64gb: 950/950/1150

You think you will just be able to find a gold iPhone everywhere in a week? Highly unlikely considering the available times for it keep slipping almost daily. It was just Oct 17th for Verizon two days ago, now its Nov 11th. It will be in high demand and VERY limited supply thru the end of the year.
 
Hope the premium is worth it for a month of baller status. Try to get laid as much as possible within that period :apple:
