Having a phone with the TikTok app has suddenly become a hot commodity.
What's happening: TikTok is unavailable to download from the Apple and Android app stores, but it's working for anyone who already had it on their phone.
And some of those enterprising folks are trying to sell their phones for thousands of dollars, according to multiple reports.
By the numbers: "Many" are "listed in the $2,000 to $5,000 range, but as to whether anyone is actually buying them at this price, it still seems unlikely," Wired reported.
Zoom in: The New York Times cited an IT engineer who got a $1,200 offer on Facebook Marketplace for his iPhone 15 Pro with TikTok downloaded onto it, which is "nearly twice as much as a refurbished iPhone 15 Pro without TikTok."
💠Nathan's thought bubble: If you needed any more proof of America's TikTok obsession, here you have it.
