If there was not a clear description then shame on Armin and he should not receive his ill-gotten gains. But really why would anyone pay $1000 for an app for their iPhone and for that matter any type of phone?

As far as I know, there is no rule in this country against wasting your own money and no rule against the rest of us making fun of you for doing so. In the financial world, you can do all sorts of things as long as there is full disclosure. For instance, if someone wants to sell stock certificates that have no underlying assets, they can. It's all in the prospectus and if someone buys the worthless pieces of paper, that's their business. Those are the SEC rules. Oh wait... I forgot -- Steve J believes that SEC rules don't apply to him and his back dated options... so perhaps I'm wrong. I see it as a whole lot less creative, but updated, Pet Rock.

They might make it available again with another description.

I say if they want to pay that much so they can brag to their friends or whatever, let'em. It's not like those people on eBay who were having people bid on "a picture of a PS3" or whatever it was -- as Theala said, this wasn't fraudulent at all. Wicked smart and crafty, but not fraudulent.

Let the buyer beware. If these 8 people were stupid enough to pay that kind of price when the description clearly said what the app was, then that is their problem. Heinrich may have nads of bronze to offer an app like that, but if people actually paid up, then he has to be given his cut. It wasn't fraudulent. Caveat emptor. Let the buyer beware.
