iPhones with Flappy Bird pre-installed are getting bids for $99,000 on eBay by Yoni Heisler Feb 10th 2014 at 12:00PM In case you missed the news, the creator of Flappy Bird Dong Nguyen decided to remove the bizarrely popular iOS game from the App Store this Sunday. While Nguyenan UT didn't give a specific reason as to why he decided to forgo US$50,000 a day in ad revenue, he did mention via Twitter that he wasn't removing the game for legal reasons and that he simply "cannot take this anymore," perhaps alluding to the avalanche of attention that greeted him once his app shot to the top of the App Store charts Nguyen also made a point of noting that Flappy Bird wasn't being put up for sale to other developers In the wake of Flappy Bird's removal from the App Store, Monday morning saw a few eBay auctions spring up featuring iPhones with Flappy Bird already installed. In bids that I can only pray are in jest, some auctions have bids that are as high as $99,000 For example, here's one listing with a current bid of $98,100 and another with a current bid of $5,000

Flappy Bird @flappy_bird I AM BACK!! Just a decade ago, I was the talk of the town and soaring to new heights with my 100 million friends. Sadly, I had to leave the fame and spotlight behind to go home and find out who I really am. Thanks to my super Flappy Bird® fans, I'm refreshed, reinvigorated, and ready to soar again. The decade-long mission involved acquiring legal rights and even working with my predecessor to uncage me and re-hatch the official Flappy BirdⓇ game!
