The demand for the newest generation of the Apple iPhone is so great that they are fetching upwards of $2,000 on internet auction site eBay, according to this article from PC World. The 8 GB version of the Three G iPhone is $199 new from AT&T with a 2-year contract agreement, while the 16 GB version is $299. Some carriers outside the U.S. are giving away the 3G iPhone for free as an incentive. The average price for a 8 GB version of the 3 G iPhone on eBay is currently in the $800-$900 range, while one auction reached a whopping $2,325. Once again, Apple did not have enough inventory of the new iPhone to match consumer demand. This happened when the original iPhone was released as well. But with the 3 G iPhone being able to work on other networks around besides AT&T, and the fact that the phone was released in over 20 countries on the launch day add up to a huge demand for the new 3G iPhone, even more than the original iPhone.
