Waiting it out for an iPhone

The lines will be long - very long - come this Friday, when the much-anticipated gadget goes on sale. That, of course, means a bidness opportunity - or haven't you checked out Craigslist recently? If you haven't any plans, it might be worth waiting in line for those early adapters (what we really mean are those competitive, Type A so-and-sos who are desperate to have a phone, but not about to stand in any stinkin' line). The going rate seems to be $200-$300, which is likely to jack up as the week goes on. (Cnet, CL)
