The queue to be first in line for an iPhone 3G began Thursday morning by a single person.
In his distinctive yellow sleeping bag suit, Sunil Raman bagged the number one spot and bedded down for the day, and night.

In the evening he was joined by Antonia Guerra and two other iPhone 3G fans. By the time the iPhone 3G went on sale, over a hundred people were queued up outside the store.

But Sunil wasn't first in line. He'd planned all along to sell his ticket on eBay, and did so via his own personal blog.
So how much is first place in the Apple Store worth? Just a mere 41 according to the Sunil's eBay page.
The winning bidder was David Suen, who told Macworld: "I didn't buy the last iPhone because it didn't have 3G. I'm very excited to be getting the iPhone 3G today".
