I would, then buy another a week or two after the hype dies and you have paid for your own iPhone from the money you made.
Considering nobody has one to sell right now.....
I'll sell you one with Buy It Now, today only, for only $900.
But seriously, I'm betting there are going to be a LOT of double-shipments out there come next week. As of right now, I've got two inbound and only want one. Perhaps either Apple or AT&T will catch it before shipment, but if not, the demand for these things should make walking it to the store on launch day a fun and profitable experience. Return it for even-money....or sell it to someone at the back of the line?
Decisions, decisions.....

Do someone in line a favor and sell it to them. It's never hard to pick out the person who's having a crumby day. Think of the karma...

Does karma still count if I make a profit?
Most, not all, but most are fraud situations on either buyer or seller. Dig deeper, many are saying choice of color, etc. The legit auctions seem to be going for $700-$900, or about the fair market value of an unsubsidized phone internationally (no Canadian release announced).

IF you sell one on eBay do you have to remove the SIM card so that it can't be activated under your account?
I noticed about the colors too. That's why I only purchase stuff like this from "top rated sellers".
You know, I wondered about that. They are suprised with the 600,000 ordered Tuesday, but remember the rollout Jobs said at WWDC. I don't remember the exact dates, but it was in most countries in a matter of months. If they do realy run out, sounds like it is a matter of days to get more produced and on their way.
Or there will be an announcement to delay to other countries. Hope not for our friends outside the US.
The non-subsidized price of $660 (iPhone + tax) x 1.12 (eBay + Paypal fees) = $739.
Gotta beat the price to make it ahead.
Someone should chime in on how it worked with the 3GS since I've read people bought multiple subsidized phones last year too. I suspect Apple or AT&T will bill the remaining balance for the extra subsidized phones.
