Members will recall the massive lines on iPhone 5s sales day. In particular, hordes of scalpers, sometimes working in teams, bought up all the gold and silver iPhone 5s. These phones were on Ebay almost immediately, usually for triple the unlocked price. If you search the forums from around that time, you will find many hundreds, if not over a thousand, complaint messages concerning scalpers buying up every last gold and silver iPhone 5s. Plus plenty of threads linking to some of the outrageous markups on Fleabay.
Will in-store pickup this time around defeat the scalpers? And is in-store pickup being offered this time around because of what happened on iPhone 5s release day?
