Pee-Tarnished iPhone For Sale, Come and Get It!
Is this level of honesty a good thing or unnecessary? Also, would you sell your phone just because of a little pee? This posting has elicited an unexpected amount of soul-searching for me. [Craigslist via Geekologie] -

questionable business tactics
Manufacturers Attack Discount Sellers with Cubicle-Dwelling Enforcers, and the Consumer Takes the Hit
The Wall Street Journal investigated the mafia-like tactics of major electronics manufacturers in maintaining higher pricing. Makers like Panasonic, Samsung, and Klipsch hire offices of internet tough guys to track down discount sellers and punish those filthy capitalists for sullying their brand perception with affordable prices.

Craigslist Armored Truck Thief Gets Nabbed
You may recall a story a couple of months ago about a man who successfully robbed an armored car by hiring decoys on Craigslist, then fled the scene by floating down the Skykomish River in Washington on a inner tube. It's a great heist story—straight out of the climactic scene in the Thomas Crown Affair. However, unlike Pierce Brosnan, this criminal won't be jetting off to live out the rest of his days with some insurance investigating MILF. The culprit was nabbed by police this week outside of a Target store using good old fashioned DNA evidence. It was almost the perfect crime. [SeattlePi via Wired]

Somehow, Original iPhones Going For Up To $600, Sell Now!
Many people have been waiting for the eve of the iPhone 3G's introduction to pounce on cheap first generation iPhones on eBay and Craigslist. These people are upset. For some reason, contrary to what you'd think, first generation iPhones are going for astronomical prices. Craigslist is full of people offering up to $600 for 16GB iPhones and up to $400 for 8GB models. The arrival of the app store might be part of it, and the fact that it'll be harder to get a 3G iPhone without contract, but $600 for a 16GB iPhone is crazy. Who wants to buy my iPod touch? -

If You Buy an iPhone Off Craigslist for Really Cheap in a Dark Alley in a Shady Neighborhood, You Will Get Mugged
And now, a Giz PSA: The iPhone 3G might have dealt a pretty solid blow to the value of a vanilla iPhone, but when you see an offer on Craigslist for a case of 10 iPhones for $2,000 with a meetup in an isolated part of a shady neighborhood, it might not be legit! More »

Zune Owner Uses Craigslist for Love Connection
One lonely Zune owner in West Hollywood is searching Craigslist high and low for one of his own—a simple lady to "rocket sweet tracks up each other's Zune slots." Isn't looking for a Zune-using soulmate the technological equivalent of being the last unicorn, fervently searching Earth for a companion, but ultimately settling on a one night stand with a horse* on its way to the glue factory? We mean, what was meant to be a one night stand. Before her kids moved in. Of course, if this is a viral ad, it's far less funny. And it probably is. More »

Craigslist Sellers Flagging Reasonably Priced Wiis To Increase Profits, Piss Me Off
Didn't these people's mammas teach them right? What kind of fool would take a reasonably priced listing for $250 on this Craigslist for a Nintendo Wii and flag it as inappropriate? The kinda fool that wants to sell their own for $350 and get rid of all the competition. These people got pea brains, and they're punks on top of that. It's time for T to head down to the Slickdeals forums and show these suckas why Mr. T puts the T in I.T. Has it occurred to you that Mr. T is good at computers? Mr. T won't stand for this price gouging.

Second Rotation Buys Your Old Gadgets
If you want to dump off your old cellphone, camera or MP3 player but don't want to deal with the hassle of not getting robbed off Craigslist, check out Second Rotation. These guys have a gigantic "bluebook"-like list of what gadgets are worth and will pay you cash money within ten days of receiving the item (provided it's not in horrible condition). Sure, it's going to be less than what you'd get from selling it to some rando on eBay, but dealing with a company rather than some stranger seems safer and more convenient to us.

PS3 Greymarket Watch: Scalpers Dumping PS3s Back To Stores
Despite the PS3 costing more than the Wii—and having less units available—it seems Sony's console is easier to find than the Wii. So much so that people are swapping PS3s for Wii straight up. And the scalpers who can't trade for a Wii or flip their PS3s for more than a 10% or 20% profit? They're returning the consoles to the stores they bought them from. More » -
