eBay phones & gotchas
There always seems to be that "new super great phone" that's ALMOST released, but isn't quite out yet.
I took a peak on eBay for one of these phones - one that's supposed to come out in Europe this month and the US by mid next year.
(the Motorola MPx, or as the eBay people seem to call it, the MPx-300. I guess it was released in Europe under that name?).
Anyway, some of these eBay auctions strongly reek of "too good to be true".
Especially the price.
What's the deal with these things?
Some of these sellers even have a good bit of positive feedback.
Are these guys just faking their feedback w/ "sales" to their buddies?
Are they phone-factory employees digging through the trashcans?
Do they work for customs and just confiscate...
