Crazy. Nexus 6 going for 2000 on ebay.

[zoiks]

I missed out buying this on the 29th as I was driving someone to the airport when the phones sold out. Just happened to glance on ebay since I really need to get one as I sold my nexus 5 already and found that they're attracting very high bids. The one below shows as $2000 with around 13 hours left in the auction.
Crazy.

Those were pre-orders on the 29th, everyone still has to wait a couple of weeks to actually get them. So the one on eBay is either a fake auction, a review sample, or someone managed to snag one early somehow.

It's a Pre-order.

Google is shipping those that were able to get one of the Pre-orders on 11/21.

I have to believe that Google has made stock available to Carriers and that is what is impacting Playstore lack of availability.

T-Mobile is supposed to have the Nexus 6 available starting 11/12.

My understanding was that the individual is selling the pre order, sending the buyer the phone once he/she receives it.

This. Kind of dumb since you will probably be able to buy it from any carrier without wait before the preorder ships.

Oh, I didn't even look at the auction.

Carriers will have them in November (at least I know T-Mobile will). There's really no need for OP to feel regret at missing the very first pre-order window.

 

[jiggyest]

OP, don't feel bad. There's probably thousands of people who missed out on the pre-order too.
Looks like Google dropped the ball on this pre-order (again!). Curious to see how many pre-orders went through, may not even break a thousand.

I'll just have to hold on to my gnex and 800 bux just a little while longer. Dammit Google! you had one job...

Someone is really going to pay $2k for it?

 

[TuxDave]

$2K? For a Nexus device? 4 years ago it was pretty nuts to see iPhones go on ebay for $1K. How things have changed.

why would I want a Nexus 6?

Theres no way Google will sell that many of these.
Maybe its a tactic to sell few and put them backorder to create buzz.
If they prove me wrong, good for them.

I can see how someone could be using such an auction as percent-less loan. Lets say you need to burrow 2k from someone. But no one wants to give it to ya. So you make this auction, and in November you tell the buyer that the phone arrived damaged or you never got it, and you refund his money.

Dishonest, unethical, but brilliant!

Still using a gnex? Wow. I couldn't get past the 2 hour battery life.

There's no way Google sold many Nexus 6s at pre-order anyway. I have yet to see anyone claim they got in on a preorder. At least with the N4, thousands were able to get in, and even after having the order page show up later during the day and several days later, I think the first month's orders were probably around 50,000 or so only.
