A rare iPhone 4 prototype has landed on eBay. The device is being offered by a mobile phone repair person who reportedly bought the phone from a customer, and is now for sale, but with a catch; The phone does not work and was bought for parts only.
The phone is unable to connect via iTunes, and will not work with any Micro-Sim, regardless of network. A search of an IMEI database revels the iPhone is a testing model and it also lacks the + and - on the volume buttons and has identification numbers etched into the front and back of the handset.
As of now, the phone is selling for a little over $2000 but bids on the phone boomed up to US$78,000 yesterday, however, most of those bids were deleted by the seller (we assume they wasnt legit). Right now, the handset is back up to $100,000, but again the highest bidders have 0-3% feedback.
Fancy a peice of Apple history and have money to burn? Get on over to eBay.
