Motorola to prevent secondhand AURA sales on eBay?
Filed under: Cellphones
We’ll be completely straight-up with you: we don’t believe this for a second. Okay, maybe for a nanosecond, but not a full-on second. An unnamed source close to Motorola has reportedly informed Register Hardware that in order to maintain the AURA’s appearance of exclusivity, buyers will be required to “sign into a contract that states they can’t sell it on eBay.” As if that wasn’t preposterous enough, this so-called “source” also added that “if an AURA owner wants to sell their phone after they’ve bought it then they’ll only have one option: to sell it back to the manufacturer.” Even if this does miraculously prove true, we can’t imagine Moto actually doing anything should someone decide to sell, and besides, there’s always Yahoo!
