That iPhone app “I Am Rich,” which has been removed from the App Store, actually sold a few copies. I’m not just talking about one or two gullible people. Eight different people downloaded the app. What did they do? See the $999 price tag and think “Hmm, I wonder what happens when I press ‘Buy’?”
Okay, maybe I’m being too harsh. Some that have bought the app are demanding that they get their money back. Apparently, it was thought to be a joke. I’m sorry, but I highly doubt Apple would post a “joke” app on the App Store that doesn’t actually deduct money from your account when you press “Buy!”
And sure, the app was asinine, but at least the developer was honest about the app’s function. I mean, he straight up said it did nothing at all! But I digress.

Some people are the huge fools, I’m surprised they had a grand to spend to begin with. These are probably the same people who post reviews on apps even though they never tried/purchase it.
These lucky bastards! I do not mean the creator of this schtick but those bloody folks who actually bought it. As no one else will be able to get the red orb any Iphone that has the glwoing mgic thing will rise extremly in its value. Some hoohnoobs will pay a fortune cause this stick is really rare.
