Seriously folks, what's up with these
prototype iPhones falling out of nondescript white vans and
ending up on eBay in the shadiest of manners? Just months after we
saw an
original iPhone prototype (ancient OS included) pop up on The
'Bay, now we've got one of the world's first iPhone 3GSs on there
as well. According to the highly ranked eBay seller, the "guy" he
"got it from" actually stumbled upon it at an airport, and rather
than doing the nonsensical thing of hitting up lost and found, he
decided to make the most of the sudden opportunity. According to
the new owner, an Apple Genius has confirmed that it is an iPhone 3GS, but
due to its prototype nature, they can't help him get past the
"Connect to iTunes" screen. In other words, it's an incredibly rare
brick. If that sounds like just the thing to complete your
collection, you can visit the road to overpaying through the read
