Real Apple iPhone goes up for auction on eBay, sells for $800 to experienced buyer

We found this eBay auction from Mekasco. Merely weeks before the actual product launch, this guy sold a “real” Apple iPhone to an experienced buyer for $800! The interesting thing is that, even though the box and the actual Apple iPhone looks a bit fake, an eBay veteran seems to have picked this thing up. So, was this a hoax? If not, where the heck did the seller get their hands on an iPhone?! (and actually be able to part with it). We’d rather wait for a bona fide corporate-store-bought Apple iPhone.
