Contract Free Palm Pre's already listed on ebay, for $899.
PreThinking
Get my Palm Pre on the 6th for $549(Off-Contract) or get it delivered right to my door step next Monday(the 8th), but for $899. This is a tough one...
You heard it right, ebay seller celltasticprices818 is selling some Pre's extra early on ebay. The seller has a total of 5 Brand New Unopened, Contract free Palm Pre's in hand, right now. How the seller got these, I couldn't care less. But what bugs me is that it's being listed for $899, even higher than what Best Buy is ridiculously offering them for (Off-Contract $849). Overnight shipping is free here, but you won't get your spanking new Pre til Monday, unless the shipping service of their choosing does Weekends.
Would I recommend you buying your Pre from this listing? No. You'd be better off getting one at a Sprint Store or Best Buy.
Would anyone here purchases this?
Note: Sales Tax -- About $88 more for shipping to CA
Few more photos after the jump.

What this guy is doing is assuming that there will be a selllout of phones like the iPhone at which point if the option is to wait several weeks to get one or pay $899 now, he's thinking he'll make a tidy profit.
"How the seller got these, I could care less."I think you mean you couldn't care less.
Thanks for pointing it out. :)
Since a two year contract is mandatory, i'd be concerned that these are unusable after purchase
Hey if you want it for less, this people have it for $782.99

eBay pulled the auction. Sprint must have flexed some muscle.
What is the point of buying the phone without a contract if it costs more to do that than it does to get the phone for $200 and then later cancel the contract for at most $200? The no-contract price is $150 more.
