Anybody cash in on this flappy bird saga?

First off I never heard of this game until this morning. But after reading that the developer cancelled the game from iTunes because people were too addicted and sending him hate mail, I was intrigued.

Turns out the guy made 50000 a day in ad revenue. And people sold there phones on ebay with this game on it and go $50000.

unreal

Might as well put it on eBay for a few g's and see what happens

I dl'd it and deleted it in 10 minutes just to see what the fuss was the day before they yanked it

Thats what happens when you reach #1 in the app store. He should have been making alot more than $50k per day though. He left a lot of money on the table, he did not monetize very well.
