If you are sitting on a lot of cash and are looking for a good venture to invest in, head on to eBay and you may just come across this iPhone app business up for sale. Apparently JBMJBM LLC has cropped up at eBay, being auctioned off starting at $100,000. The company is still owned by Brice Milliorn and the auction includes 87 apps from the company’s bestselling titles that include the likes of Friday Night Lights, iSpy Game, iReferee, iSexyRef, iSexyRef2, Pro Rodeo Fan, Sit Up Counter and Shake 2 Count.
These apps are currently listed at the App Store. If you are looking for a wise investment to bank on, this is it. iPhone apps are the craze of most people today and just imagine the profits you would gain from selling one iPhone app after another!

The Zune HD is a hit product so far. Most resellers have run out of it so maybe you should check eBay’s auctions to see if people are selling any Zune HD. And if you do, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find out that there’s a special Zune waiting for you. The auction for this 32GB “Atomic” Zune HD starts at $265 but the price will probably go way up. In case you’re not willing to pay extra for a Zune HD then you should probably wait for the guys at Redmond to release this version too. Which I’m sure they will do at some point in the near future.

No need to worry about your VoIP future. eBay has decided to sell 65% of Skype for $1.9 billion but I am sure Skype will fall in great hands. A small group of VC funds are the buyers and hopefully they will offer better VoIP services in the near future. No immediate changes have been announced so far so you will not notice anything different when you access your Skype application from your computer or phone tomorrow. But one could hope that the future will bring good things to Skype fans all over the world.

RIM’s BlackBerry Onyx has yet to settle down on a carrier but it seems that someone has gotten their hands on some pre-release devices and decided to throw them on eBay. The starting bid is currently at just $1 but the seller says you can buy the phone now for $1,299.99.
Sure, the phone is unlocked and has GPS, WiFi, a QWERTY keyboard, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA but is anyone actually going to pay over $1,200 for this? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

eBay is a place where you can see lots of weird deals and sales. Like this unreleased OQO Model 2+ which has been sold for $4,500. Why would anyone pay so much for an unreleased gadget? Just so you can say that you’re the only person in the world that has such a gadget? Is it really that cool?
The Model 2+ comes with a 1.86 GHz Intel Atom processor, 2GB of RAM, a 120GB HDD, a 5-inch touchscreen display, Gobi-1000 Mobile Broadband connectivity, EV-DO Rev.A, Bluetooth, and HSPA connectivity, HDMI port, VGA and Ethernet adapters and one USB 2.0 port.
I will admit that these are some nice specs, but still, $4,500 for it? How much would you pay for the OQO Model 2+ UMPC?

Looking for a Pre deal? Would you like to get the phone without a new Sprint contract? Then you should keep your eyes on eBay too. It looks like at least a Pre phone has been sold on eBay and the winning bidder had to pay only $340. Has this phone fallen off a truck? Did someone purchase it from Sprint or any other reseller without the actual intention of using it? We don’t have any idea but what’s important is that the Pre can be found for a cheaper price on eBay. Other Pre auctions are currently available on eBay so your Pre deal is closer than you think. Bid away!

It seems a user by the name of vofffka got their hands on what they are calling a prototype version of an iPhone 3GS. How do they know it’s a prototype? Well, when they connect it to iTunes it says “iPhone can not be restored, because software for this iPhone is not available yet”.
Not only that but it also has E10633 engraved on the front. Before you go and place a bid, this phone doesn’t work and the eBay user has doubts it will ever work.
However, if you’re a nifty iPhone hacker maybe you can pull a few strings and get yourself a cheap iPhone 3GS?

For mobile geeks aching to get their hands on an HTC TouchPro 2, here is your chance as there is one available at eBay. There is one being held up for grabs and is being sold for $899.
WMPowerUser spied it when it had a “But it now” price of $899, but it looks like it’s been relisted and will now see how high the price will go by 11 p.m. EST March 27.
The top bid was $475. But before you throw your bid in the ring, do note that while this is an unlocked GSM phone, it only has the 3G radio bands used outside the U.S. So if you are looking for this phone and you want to get your hands on one that is unlocked at that, check it out.

How about a pink iPhone 3G I ask you? And I am not talking about a special case to be applied over that black or white case of yours! No, I am talking about the pink iPhone 3G that’s up for grabs on eBay. The pink phone has all the standard print on the back. Is this case made for Apple or is it just another great homemade modification? Are we going to see colored iPhones arriving at Macworld or will Apple phones keep arriving in black or white. If Apple can have cases manufactured in different colors for the new iPod nano why shouldn’t it make colored iPhone 3G cases too?
As we speak the bid is up to £310.00 and there are 18 hours left to bid on it. How much do you think it will sell for?

Sure RIM has great phones but I wouldn’t pay $17,000 for any of them, no matter how much money I’d have. But since on eBay everything is possible, a bid for the BlackBerry 8900 Javelin has been won at $17,100.00. Is that person that desperate to get the Javelin? Why not buy a better RIM phone? The Bold? The Thunder?
Or did somebody else buy the device? You know, from the competition? Considering that the Javelin hasn’t been released yet that might just be it.
