Someone is selling a Kin One for $200 on eBay?????
It has all the packaging and looks fine but OOF $200???????

Like, are they still so expensive because Verizon sold 500 of them and now NO ONE has any?

@pup_hime this absolute nugget of a phone
It was on sale for 48 days before being pulled. It was a Verizon exclusive and despite NOT being a smartphone you still had to buy a (for the time) expensive smartphone data plan with it.
They reportedly sold 500 units of the Kin One. It was focused at 15-30 year olds as a fun social focused phone. There was also a Kin Two that was a more traditional looking phone with a sideways slide out keyboard

@evie oof, for CIB that might actually be a realistic price

though I bet you can't do jack with one nowadays, I bet it needs web services that are long gone

@noiob oh I’m like 99% sure it’s a paperweight at this point which is why I absolutely won’t go for it

@evie I'd absolutely buy one for a good price though

@noiob i have an HTC HD2 ($30) and a Lumia 1020 ($100) on the way this week and both of those have actual things to do with them in the current year so I’ve gotta get a REALLY good deal on a Kin One
