$17,100 Blackberry Javelin - What a Bargain!
Posted by Chris Leckness on 09/18/08 in Opinion
I hate to really post 2x on this, but holy hell… $17,100? Insert more crack into pipe. Wow! I was pretty surprised to see this phone at $2k early in the bidding as I indicated in this post (Grab the BlackBerry Javelin 8900 for just $2025.00 USD), but more than a small car or a college education for an unreleased phone. Not me. Even though I love gadgets and pay early adopter fees often, there is no way in hell I am spending that kind of money on ANY phone.

Are you sure this wasn’t an inflated bid? I’ve heard of an eBay scam where people work in collusion to inflate bids so that nobody else will buy the item, then the winner retracts their bid, so the partner gets it at his lowest bid (eBay apparently rolls back all of the bids the winner made, not just the last one).

I just checked, and it seems like the listing is gone.
