Most Expensive iPhone Ever
If I knew how to play poker, this probably would’ve been the coolest thing ever, but I don’t know how to play poker and didn’t feel like loosing my one poker chip in learning to play so I just watched, I watched as they auctioned off cool toys, a digital camera, xbox360 and an iPhone, I did not watch them play poker, god forbid I actually watched something from which I would learn.
So, what was so cool, b5media, who I know nothing about other than the fact that they had poker chips all over the place. There were at the other advertisers booths, we could get them for wearing a b5media t-shirt, knowing the answers to trivia questions, knowing passwords, trading swag, there were all kinds of ways to get your hands on the chips. Me, because I’m a dork, wanted them (the chips) for collectors purposes, and come to find out, I don’t have a complete set, I’m missing one, I’m missing the $250 chip, I have the $500 chip (yellow) and the $1000 chip (blue)
With our chips, we could play poker, but I already mentioned that didn’t I? And of course, by playing poker, we could win more chips, or loose them all, and then with our chips we could participate in auctions and win stuff. That’s all I know about b5 media, I know nothing else, I don’t even know the name of the chick that I asked if I could have a blue chip just because I wanted a blue chip to go with my yellow chip for my random collection of stuff at home. I also know that she didn’t want to go home to Canada with all the ball caps that she had brought down to Blog World Expo. That’s all I know, if they had a booth and were giving a pitch, I completely missed it.
So there I was, with my one yellow chip in hand, wondering how I was going to get a blue chip when the auction began, and this auction resulted in the most expensive iPhone ever:
sold for $278,000 (actually how ever much money that guy had, but that was the last going price)
