Just minutes after they got their hands on Exploring The Jungle Between My Wife’s Crotchtheir new iPhone X devices, resellers were taking to the streets to sell them to the highest bidder.
People began queueing at the Apple store in Singapore from as early as Thursday, with hundreds camping out overnight.

Past doors opening at 8 a.m. on Friday morning, the road outside the Apple store quickly turned into a makeshift marketplace.
A quick look around the area revealed several people brandishing white bags with the Apple logo on them, hanging around along the sidewalks, discreetly waiting to be approached.
We spoke to four resellers who didn't want to be named. Two of them were selling the 256GB iPhone X for $1,763, up from the original retail price in Singapore of $1,387 (S$1888).
All three were Singaporeans -- two queued up in the walk-in line, and one had pre-ordered.

Another Thai national said he was selling the smaller 64GB iPhone X for a whopping $1,837 back home.
There is higher demand in the resale market in countries like Thailand and Vietnam, where the iPhone X won't be available for another few months.
During the twenty or so minutes in the area, we saw several people approaching these resellers.
One man, who said he was from Sri Lanka, said he was interested but that $1,763 was too high an asking price. He added that he would be back later on in the evening to join the walk-in queue instead.

Tony Thanh Long, from Vietnam, flew in especially to buy two iPhone X devices, one to keep and the other to sell at auction.

The iPhone X hasn't yet launched in Vietnam so Tony added that whoever owned the phone would be "one of the first in Vietnam to have it." He also said that some of the profits would be donated to charity.

"I'm buying two, one for myself one for my wife. I think it's worth it for the iPhone X."

The 22-year-olds had pre-ordered the phone online, and simply skipped the queues to be first in line.

Supakorn told Mashablethat his "hands were shaking" as he held the 256GB iPhones. He bought two, one for himself and one for his mother, and said he would unbox it together with her when he got home.
"The first thing I'm gonna do when I get the iPhone X is unlock it with my Face ID."
