It's OK, You Can Still Buy Flappy Bird (For $1500)
By Alex Johnson | January 01, 0001
Flappy Bird may be gone, but while many are mourning its passing, others are 
seeing a rather drastic market opportunity. https://kotaku.com/flappy-bird-just-disappeared-from-google-play-as-creat-1519367070(new 
Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Within hours of 
the game disappearing from the App Store (seemingly) forever, listings have turned up on Ebay selling iPhones that have the game installed. At time of posting, the “cheapest” offer was for an iPhone 5S at $650 (it’s already got one bid), while you could buy a 32GB gold iPhone 5S for $1500. Used.
Note that an unlocked iPhone 5S is $750 in the US. That’s brand new, sealed in the box, straight from Apple. Before you laugh at these morons, look at the phone in your own hand. If it’s a relatively recent iPhone, and you have Flappy Bird installed, you no longer have just a phone. You have a piece of history, one that you too Y1 COM could put on eBay, charge Y1 Games stupid prices for then have nobody pay. Flappy Bird [eBay, via Mr. Michael Y1 App McWhertor]

The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.
