Crazy how people are actually bidding, you get more for the LE device they'd give you then this one.

**mathking606** · 01-26-2013, 03:06 PM

The first image has a watermark from BGR. Seems legit.

**diggin4aliving** · 01-26-2013, 07:43 PM

Up to almost $900 already. I don't think it'll ever get to that $2999 but who knows what crazy people with money will do.

Who ever bid on this was crazy...the seller was new to ebay too...not legit what so ever...

**Chrisd534** · 01-27-2013, 05:22 AM

Buyer has no feedback? Definitely made a new account and just put a bid on his own product to stir the pot.

Since the Dev Alpha contains a beta version of BB10, it's against eBay policies to sell anything containing beta software.

Is it still up on eBay? This is illegal right?

According to the listing, the auction ended yesterday, as someone with a 0 rating bought it for $2999 using the Buy It Now feature. I hope that the buyer screws this guy over, as it seems unlikely that the buyer is the same person as the seller, as they would have shill bid and not used Buy It Now.
