I think most folks are like me...we can wait for the normal order processing’s delivery timeframes.

Apple? I eat a few a week, not one one on my wrist. Gala, Granny Smith and Fuji are my favorites.

Whoever put that headline on the story either didn’t read it or doesn’t understand how eBay works. “Zero bids” on a “buy it now” sale means it hasn’t sold. If it had gotten one “bid,” it wouldn’t be listed any more.

And I don’t see this as “exceptionally opportunistic and greedy,”as the author does. Someone who lucks into an early ship date flips the watch for 2x retail, then goes back and reorders, and gets it in June for free? Seems pretty clever to me. And if it doesn’t sell, worst case scenario is that you get the watch you wanted in the first place (or try Craigslist).

I honestly don’t see the benefit of a “smart watch” that needs an iphone to fully work, and takes up both hands to use. Now you’re going to have people staring down at their arm, and using their other hand to operate it.

The car crashes are going to be that more spectacular. I predict a lot more broken forearms.

I think the problem is that the apple iWatch sucks, and people would rather blow their money on something other useless gimmick.

The top of the line Apple watch is rose gold and exquisitely beautiful. It a piece of fine jewelry, not just a watch. I would love one.

Sad to say it, but I don’t think a lot of people these days want to run around with a trendy, demonstrably valuable item on their wrist. You could lose a wrist that way.

Sellers are asking extremely high "Buy It Now" prices at eBay to take advantage of strong demand for Apple Watches. But in many cases, consumers aren't biting.

Actually, quite a few Apple Watches have sold on eBay at high prices.

Apparently all of the faggots in the USA have bought their Apple watch.

Now trying to sell it to straight, normal, REAL AMERICANS isn’t working out so well.

Doesn’t the battery only last a few hours? Thats a major downside when it comes to a watch’s primary purpose, which is to provide a convenient means of telling the time. May as well buy a cheap Timex.

Maybe they’re not selling because NOBODY HAS ONE TO SELL.

I found this sort of profiteering on a camera I wanted several years ago.

I summoned all the patience I could “find” and waited until a local retailer took delivery on a new shipment

I wouldn’t trust that you were getting the real thing.
