Crazy prices closer to launch date

So, I've been checking Craigslist in hopes of avoiding Sprint store on Friday. So, I'd like to share this gem with you.

http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/mob/1770391939.html

This guy wants 1 grand for Evo, in the ad posted today, 6/1/2010. Now, this is the same guy who said, on previous ad, that claimed that you get a YEAR of free hotspot. In addition, the price, according to his post, is $650 without a contract. and the hotspot feature is $40 a month.

When I texted him, offering to get it off his hands for $500, he said that on Wednesday, someone's picking it up from him for $750.

Now, share yours!

Unbelievable, just goes to show that there are many idiotic and distraught people in the world when it comes to selling stuff!

I should have went to BB when they first started taking pre-orders and got like 10 or 15 pre-orders set up and then sold those on Craigs List.... "Be one of the first in line and be Guaranteed an EVO on launch date...only $800 and you will also receive a $50 gift card for use towards the purchase of the EVO. ($800 does no go towards the cost of the Evo. Not responsible if store sells out before getting to you but you will be guaranteed by the second or third shipment)"
