There are a few people in this world who aren’t the brightest bulbs, and many of those can be found on eBay. Appletell reader Sam sent us a link from an eBay auction he came across today, for what was said to be an 8GB iPhone. Well, anyone with a little common sense and know how of the iPhone would have realized that this auction was not real.
The “Iphone” (pictured) was sold for $520 to some poor sap who will open the package in the mail only to realize he didn’t buy an iPhone. The phone appears to be some sort of Asian knockoff of the iPhone, a very bad knockoff at that. The saddest part of this auction is that there were over 30 bids on the device.

As mentioned by the seller, "This is an Iphone not an Apple iphone."
I blame a lack of critical thinking skills. That is, on the unfortunate sap's part.
