Have you missed a chance to get your copy of Flappy Bird, the megapopular iOS game which was mysteriously pulled from the App Store this weekend? Worry not, you can still get it -- if you've got $99,900 to spare.
An eBay user is selling an iPhone with Flappy Bird installed for the starting price of $650. Within hours, the price has already jumped to $99,900, with 74 bids placed.

Of course, some or even all of the bids could be fake, but the seller seems to be legit, and the bids are coming from at least a dozen different users.
The game's developer Dong Nguyen said he would take Flappy Bird down as he cannot take the pressure from its success anymore. The game was reportedly bringing in about $55,000 in ad revenue per day.
I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.

It could be a clever marketing trick, but the fact remains that you currently cannot download the game from Apple's App Store. You can only play if you've already installed it.
