Just sold my brand new IP5 16GB for $800 on CL, I was curious to ask the buyer why willing to pay for higher retail price ? the answer is the tittle of this thread

That still doesn't explain why he didn't just get it cheaper at retail price.

sold out at retail stores? Most Apple/other stores arent allowing off contract devicves now as well. Maybe the guy is from russia and has no ssn etc and its less of a hassle to buy it from a graymarket such as cl.
I'm sure if the option was available he would be buying it from them.

The buyer is 1 of connection of BM in Russia (i just guess), they makes $400 profit for each IP5 sell it to buyers there

the iphone 5 is $850 + tax (so around $950 here in California) retail for 64 gig. So the buyer actually got it less than retail. Why did you sell it so cheap?

Your reply is similar to Iphone SIRI... this is why the Robots never can replace humans, it lacks of common sense in it

huh. I dont get it. why did you sell it less than retail. Because robots made you do it? or because Siri told you too.... IS that what you meant?


Ok I read your edited post, now its 16 gig. I understand... So in other words robots made you do it. Now I get it lol

Currently at Bulgaria they cost around $1200, but couple of days ago they was $1500. After week or so they will drop at $900 for the cheapest *if we are lucky* (and no more at least for the next year or so) only if Mtel and Globul offer them officialy.

That's life... take it or leave it!
