There were little to no lines around here for the iPhone (certainly none started days in advance) and if I wanted I could get two iPhones (that's the limit) from each AT&T store in my vicinity. People paying 1.6k-2k for a PS3 for their brats for Christmas I could understand since they were literally sold out everywhere.... the iPhone you can find at most AT&T stores still and you can even order directly from Apple's website right now and get it in two or three weeks. There just isn't a "good reason" for people to be paying so much @ eBay but eh, it's their money.
