The iPhone 6 is currently selling for over $1,000 on eBay right now, despite not having been released yet. Initial supplies are limited so it's understandable that some people are excitedly exploring the possibilities for getting one. Still, $1,000?
We're sure our readers don't need to be told this, but maybe you have a friend who needs to hear it. Don't buy an iPhone 6 on eBay for $1,000. Even if your local store is sold out until November, just wait. The amount of time you'll be able to enjoy being the only person with an iPhone 6 is insanely limited, while the things you could do with $1,000 are nearly limitless.
Start a business. Take a class. Buy a beat up car and enter a demolition derby. Create a piece of art. Go out for the best meal of your life.
Do anything, but don't buy an iPhone 6 for $1,000. The depreciation on the worth of an iPhone is stunning. When the iPhone 5 cost $199 for a 16GB version of the phone, $299 for a 32GB version and $399 for a 64GB version. The same cost at the iPhone 6 today with a carrier plan. Imagine telling your friends at the bar today, looking down at your iPhone 5 with lust in your heart for the iPhone 6, that you paid $1,000 for the iPhone 5 because you just couldn't wait a month. Imagine the looks on their face. Dwell on the mental image. Think of their mocking laugher.
Then close that eBay window, call your local store, and ask then they'll have your model in stock.
You'll feel better about it in 2015.
