It didn’t take long for eBay to become awash with iPad 2 pre-order listings from hundreds of sellers guaranteeing worldwide delivery after launch day, which is good news for those outside the U.S. who need to get their hands on a second-generation iPad when it launches.
Expect to pay over the odds to get it early, however. Many sellers are asking for at least $1000, while I’m yet to find one that’ll take less than $800 as a ‘But It Now’. The dreamer above is asking for a ridiculous $10,000 and couldn’t even be bothered to include a pic. They strangely advertise same-day shipping, though! Smells fishy…

Stupid. I’ll sell anyone whatever iPad 2 they need at cost, assuming the only reason they get it on eBay is they can’t via any other means.
Nobody should go without the device..
ebay needs to create a means to flag and shut down predatory ads by tech scalpers. People who don’t do anything of value in the economy don’t deserve to get huge sums of money for simply creating artificial shortages.
‘buy it now’ you mean?
