charging an inflated price isnt good reason to report people... if people pay it, its their own fault... and the phone is worth whatever someone will pay for it.. may only retail 449-499 but if someone pays $1000 for it, guess what, its worth 1000 bucks as the buyer is concerned... id expect the CL post to be right back up

To each their own, i would never pay that much for a phone.

plenty of people paid full retail for TP1s and TP2s which was 579.99 and 599.99.. so 700 isnt a far stretch really.. i believe the N97(or one of those nokia models around then) retailed for over 800 bucks at one point..

i have decided I wont pay more than 500 for a phone. the greed is to much

now the san fran craigslist had some good deals. i have a feeling I am going to just wait the extra week and a half and buy retail at a sprint store. than sell my tp2

the thing your guys arnt understanding is theres alot of really rich people that dont care about 1grand... like in movies where actors use money for lots of different thing and thats just one of them

Yeah for the most part people are impatient. I personally will wait the 12 days to get one but I agree with what some have said here which is it is worth what people are willing to pay. Way back when (PS3 launch day). I got two PS3's and sold one because my friend decided he didn't want it. I left it at 100 under retail and let people bid it out. They drove it to 1200.00. So of course i sold it to the highest bidder

With ebay, you really do not HAVE to pay. If you do not pay, the buyer will open up Unpaid Item case, and if you do not pay, you will get a strike on the account. I think it's 3 strikes and they review your account for cancellation.

Also as for shipping, I think they've done it to avoid Final Value Fee, which can be as high as 9%, but is not charged from shipping.

For the guy claiming that he sold the phone, that's why listing is no longer available, that's bull. Listing was removed by eBay. If item was sold, the listing is still viewable for up to 30 or 60 days. You cannot buy it, cannot find it, search for it, but if you have item number, you can see it.

eBay doesn't really care about high shipping prices. They are against it just so they can take their cut from a sale.
