No - 48GBP is the sam iphone 3g that is atm at ?63 for me - this is the iphone that started at 2c this morning but has received 6300 bids (50c each). Not sure what the GBP price is, but 1 bid == 50 euro cents here.

I don't think there's anything shady at all, just that given enough publicity (traffic) that people will bid and bid for a bargain. All the time, the company is making a fortune.
