HAHAH yeah I just read that post, some people just have the nerves to put out such bussiness. But what can we say? What about all of the other people charging others to jailbreak their iphone?

you should totally report him saying something about the fact that its ILLEGAL to profit off of freeware such as android and the like
really? I'd like for you to show me the law where such a thing is mentioned.
I'm not defending the guy, but i hate seeing people talk law w/o a clue.
Android is not freeware. under the Apache license, android can be redistributed for profit, even the gpl parts (kernel, webkit) can be sold as a completed work given that you provide the buyer the source for the affected parts (source that was gpl and it's derivative works).
it'sthe reason htc can claim copyright infringement on people posting ports of their builds but still have to release kernel sources.
besides, this guy is selling a service, not source. if the makers of haret made a provision that it can't be included in such a service then they could sue, until then, this is something that is sleazy, but legal.

I would not be surprised at all if the people profitting from these android OS is a user somewhere on this XDA forum. Youtube will pretty much teach people hwo to do this, gosh they are silly willing to spend 50 on a few minute job.

I wish the people on craigslist and ebay knew how to use google. :p

Look at this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160465048336&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

It looks like he has the stock rom too, so it'll probably have robot voice problems. So he's basically getting $100+ more for putting files on an SD card.
Whats wrong with that?

He is selling his phone with a few extra bits and peices. At least he is upfront about what it is and where it comes from.

The bloke on Craigslist is selling his time to put the files on the SD card, big deal. Some people don't know how to do it so he is filling the hole.

Seriously guys, don't you have better things to do?
