eBay seeing bids of thousands of dollars for phones with Flappy Bird still on them

Whether you’re mourning or celebrating, Flappy Bird is now gone from app stores. Now that the inexplicable smash hit is off the market, shrewd eBay sellers are looking to turn a quick profit from those caught up in the mobile game’s buzz.

Overnight, GameSpot reported that two separate listings for iPhones with Flappy Bird installed on them had received bids over $90,000. Neither of these listings still exist, and it’s very likely that the auction prices were being driven up by eBay trolls. Such figures were probably too sensational to be real bids, which would explain why the sellers took their listings down.
