My gold iphone has gotten me laid 7 times so far, out of 3 speeding tickets and an interview with a Forbes 500 company. Jealousy
 
Most of these negative comments in here are most likely from jealous people who had to settle for a space gray because they couldnt get a gold one and cant afford to buy one off Ebay. Why else would they care what others do with their money? The OP has been here longer than all of you making these comments. Not like hes some troll that just joined and made that post. Lots of jerks on this forum.
 
Geez ow, yea I was gonna say, for $1700 you can have the gold one right here in my hand, lol. I can wait another month for another one if I get that kinda money, lol.
 
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?

I don't know if you are serious, but the Apple stores in your area are getting shipments every day. You just need to keep trying. I snagged a gold one on Saturday at an Apple store at a local mall. I was on the phone with another one on Tuesday and they had gold phones.

the same think could be said to the OP... why post? its a mac forum, its safe to say majority of the people here a well off, educated or in college. what's the point of posting he/she wanted the attention. Looking back at other post from the OP he/she posted about paying off a car. very few people on here are impressed with that.

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.

that's happening now though. if you go to your local apple store when they open chances are you may get the phone you want. They get shipments everyday. By mid october it shouldn't be too hard to get a Gold if you're willing to go in at 9:30-10am
