Title: Vintage iPhone. First Gen. Only 10 grand.
Post by: Pugnate on Thursday, August 09, 2012, 06:17:21 PM

So have a look. This guy is selling a sealed first gen iPhone as a "rare collectors vintage box" item for 10 grand. No one would be that stupid right? No one would buy this nonsense.

So I looked at his feedback:

He sold a first gen Ipod mini for $900.

A second gen Ipod for $2,300.

What the hell is going on?

The prophecy of Que has come to pass.  Humanity has officially (for reals this time) become stupid.

Er, we're not there yet.. It's gonna need at least another few decades before we can call an iPhone "vintage."

But yep, humanity is inevitably spiralling toward terminal stupidity.
