The handheld device is quite a market hit

The recently-released iPhone is a real market hit and, even if it is currently available only for the US residents, the fans from every corner of the world are willing to do anything they can to receive the device. That's why most of the Internet websites were assaulted with more or less attractive offers for iPhones. But the most affected one was surely eBay, the famous bidding website that hosts an impressive number of merchants and customers. At this time, there are no more than 5982 iPhones posted on eBay with prices starting from $1 to $2.499.

The offers are very attractive, most of the sellers including the shipping costs in the price of the device. The interesting thing is that some of the users posted several pictures showing them waiting for their turn to buy the iPhone, a move meant to convince the buyers that the offer is really true.

"Brand new, 8 gb, Apple iphone, sealed in box and sealed in the original AT&T bag. I will overnight this phone to you for FREE! There is a picture of me as the first person in line to purchase the phone along with a picture of the receipt and a picture of the AT&T bag with the phone in it. I'm pretty sure by now you know everything there is to know about the phone so start bidding!" a user mentions.

As TechCrunch reported, there is a considerable number of iPhones offers that might be regarded as a new spam method for the bidding websites. Of course, a so-impressive number of selling adverts can also raise questions from the interested buyers because some of the postings might be fake and try to lure users to buy other things. However, it's obvious that iPhone is a real market hit and it will remain so until the fans from all around the world have the chance to buy one.
