    Anyone sell their Iphone with FLAPPY BIRD app on it this week?
    This is more of a heads up for anyone really.

    Apparently it's become a very highly addictive game and the creator of it said he can no longer handle the pressures of people becoming so addicted, INCLUDING HIMSELF.
    He was making 50k a day off popup ads on the app over the last 3 months.
    Hard to believe how much money he's leaving on the table doing this.
    He has said he will not sell the app to anyone offering either.
    Weird stuff.

    MY buddy sold his Iphone with that app on it a few days ago for $1500.

    Ebay has now limited the amount you can sell them for on there to 1k for some odd reason.

    There are idiots out there paying out the ass for this game right now.

    I have the Iphone5.
    Going to put it on Clist on my day off tomorrow and see if I can get some dough for it.
    I figure I can at least upgrade my phone to a 5s and profit a few bucks as well.

    I am semi-clueless in some areas so I thought I missed out this whole time.
    I downloaded that stupid app 3 weeks ago because I kept seeing people post high scores on Fbook and Instragram.

    I played it for 5 seconds and deleted it.
    I was not aware that when they took the app off the market I could still go back in my phone and re-install it.
    This was pointed out to me last night.

    Will update tomorrow how much I get for my phone if anything.
    May even hit the Apple store and flip a few more phones as well if I make a decent amount on it.

    Anyone else sell theirs or actually try flipping a few this week?

      I'm not sure if they are paying for the game or more so the fact it could be a collector's item.

          It's not a collector's item. That holds no value. It will blow over in a month or so.

              You better hurry Benny, the prices are falling on these iPhones

              there is much easier way to get this app, even if you never installed on your device - ask a friend or a family member who has this app, to sign in to apple store with their credentials from your phone and then download it to your device

                    Yeah I see ppl on c-list offering $40-50 to install apps on ppl's phones instead. More of a grind but I guess a good hustle for someone who is broke.
                    There are still plenty of naive ppl buying the phones themselves though.

                          Sell the phone today if possible. Under-cut the people that are selling for 1,000$ plus. I'd sell it for 800-900$. It's still amazing value for such a monkey game.

                            Current price for a 5s is $680 roughly after taxes.
                            Since I have the original 5 and it's a year old, I figure I will be fine just upgrading my phone for free at the least.
                            So that's my plan really, any extra money I can get for it will be a bonus.
                            So my goal is honestly $700. Will probably put an asking price up for 1200 and just take the best offer within a couple hours of posting it.

                                I'm Iphone for life.
                                Last year before getting the I5 I got that new S4 that had just came out but I returned it within 24 hours.
                                I tried, didn't like it.
                                I prefer the smaller phone.

                                    I used to Annie, I got to level 170 or something like that.
                                    I deleted it the day I actually spent 99 cents on it to beat a level.
                                    After doing it, I was embarrassed and felt it was getting out of hand lol.

                                              i guess if you got a new phone you could upgrade next year and just about sell this one for almost what you pay for it

                                              resell prices on used phones is fukkin crazy

                                                If you know where to look you can still download it today.
                                                I just got it for my daughter, she wanted it because of all the hype,
                                                this weekend and it works fine.

                                                      Since I have the original 5 and it's a year old, I figure I will be fine just upgrading my phone for free at the least.
                                                      So that's my plan really, any extra money I can get for it will be a bonus.
                                                      So my goal is honestly $700. Will probably put an asking price up for 1200 and just take the best offer within a couple hours of posting it.
                                                      You wont be able to sell a locked Iphone for that much. Only an unlocked Iphone 5S sells for more than $600. You mentioned about upgrading your Iphone with your carrier so your iphone is 99% chance it is a locked Iphone that can only be used on ATT network. Those will sell for half that price.

                                                      If you didnt originally paid more than $600 for your iphone, it is most likely a locked iphone. Even if you take it to one of those places to get it unlocked, it's not the same and they'll be able to tell from the jailbroken software.
