【pornography vs eroticism】

'Tis the season... to be pornography vs eroticismscalping!

Just hours after Apple's iPhone X went up for pre-order around the world, some asshole has already listed the hard-to-get-your-hands-on "all-screen" device for a whopping $59,999 on eBay.

Screw this guy. But also screw anyone who's stupid and desperate enough to buy it from him.

Look, I take no joy in calling anyone an asshole, but when you're scalping an iPhone X at a 5,117 percent mark up. Screw you, man.

I understand that it's simple supply and demand, and some of these sellers are legitimately just trying to make a living, and it's just simple business.

But seriously, what the hell, man?

The device up for sale is a 256GB model that sells for $1,150. Don't be that idiot who pays this ridiculous price. It's not worth it.

Need another reason? The seller can't even guarantee you'll get the iPhone X on launch day on Nov. 3. Estimated delivery time is between Oct. 30 (impossible unless they get it early somehow) and Nov. 13. Worse, the screenshot of the pre-ordered iPhone X shows a delivery date of Nov. 17-24.

Screw that.

On that note, don't pay markup prices at all from anywhere. You're better than that.

Don't fall for it. It's just a new iPhone. Relax and breathe. It's not the end of the world if you don't have one. And if anyone, like your significant other tells you otherwise, dump their ass.
