I was just going through phone section of gumtree and shocked to see lots of ad of phone with flappy bird on sale…most of them were listed with price tag ranging from 1000$ to 12000$…Did you any one here buy such phone with flappy bird…why this game has increased price of phone so high….i know this game has been pulled down from stores by developers…

some example of price :
Galaxy S4, $10k —> http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/craigieburn/mobile-phones/sam…

Iphone 5 , $12k —> http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/attwood/mobile-phones/iphone-…

    What they list for and what they sell for will be very different

    The sellers might have inspired by the below post

    And I remember I read another post about the same auction later that eBay found those bids were fake. Ebay is now removing all the Flappy bird phone listings.

    But I am sure no Ozbargainer is so dumb to pay thousands for a phone just because it has an addictive game. If you know someone who is willing to pay even $1000 for a Samsung Galaxy S4 with Flappy bird let me know. I will sell mine. I don't have Flappy bord installed but it is not that hard to download it from third party websites and install it on Android phone.

    They've jumped to gumtree because eBay has cracked down on it. Anyone who would pay a premium for a gadget with Flappy Bird needs their head read. The game SUCKS. My top score is 8 (LOL) and I refuse to spend any more time trying to beat it.
