Who’s up for an iPhone auction?

If eBay is a popular auction site among Americans, Filipinos have a famous auction site called Auction.ph. Recently, they announced that they are planning to make the second-generation iPhone from Apple Inc. available on their auction site. However, several issues including product sourcing as well as potential carrier partnership still remains shady.


According to the press release of Auction.ph, they are planning this to have a special promotion for their loyal customers as well as online merchandisers. This was the statement given by the chief of public relations of the company, Angelo Hernandez. Moreover, he also said that Auction.ph will auction off oneunit of the second-generation iPhone with a starting price of P1.00 or equivalent to $0.02. The bidding increments will start at P0.5.

Anthony Hernandez also said that the Auction.ph is expecting to have a lucky bidder that would take home the 3G iPhone at a price which is a far cry from the cost that Globe Telecommunications recently announced.

He also mentioned that the appeal of the purchasing the 3G iPhone from Auction.Ph is that their website has already gave a fixed range for the price of the second-generation iPhone which starts from 1 peso up to 5,000 pesos or equivalent to $110.
