Snap's Spectacles are already up on eBay
Turns out you don't have to be in Venice, California to try to get your hand on Spectacles.
Snap's video-camera product has already hit eBay. The bidding for a black pair reached $553 as of 12 p.m. Thursday, after an hour on the website. That's already a 325 percent markup from the retail price of $130.
A coral pair was going for $175.

Snap isn't saying yet where the next ones are coming, but will announce locations on its website, Spectacles.com, 24 hours ahead of time.
