Profiteers hoping to turn a quick buck on the shortage of Apple’s new 5.5-in. iPhone 6 Plus have listed their pre-ordered phones on eBay for as much as $6,000.

While that was the highest asking price for a new iPhone 6 Plus as of Friday afternoon, there were almost 30 listed on the auction site with “Buy It Now” prices between $2,000 and $2,999; over 280 between $1,000 and $1,999; and even 5 under $1,000.

The $1,500 price seemed especially popular.

Buy It Now is eBay’s non-auction price that sidesteps bidding. Not all eBay entries for the iPhone 6 Plus included a Buy It Now price.

An “unlocked” iPhone 6 Plus — one not tied to a two-year contract with a carrier — starts at $749 for the 16GB model and climbs to $949 for one with 128GB of storage.
