Solana Saga sells for up to $5K on eBay as Bonk frenzy causes sell-out

After months of tepid sales, the Solana Saga phone is now “SOLD OUT” on its official website amid a recent frenzy for the free Bonk memecoin airdrop.

A Solana Saga phone appears to have sold for as much as $5,000 on eBay — more than eight times its retail cost — after a frenzy to pick up a free memecoin airdrop caused the devices to sell out on the official website for the first time. 

According to a Dec. 16 listing on the online marketplace eBay, two unopened, in-box phones have recently sold, listed for $5,000 or “best offer,” while another device has sold for $3,316 or “best offer."

An additional 20 devices managed to sell for over $2,000 over the weekend, a more than $1,400 markup on the original $599 price tag on the Solana Mobile website.

Solana phone sales skyrocket as degens scramble for pumped-up BONK

At current prices, the free BONK airdrop for Saga owners stands at $877, making it — at least temporarily — a “phone that pays for itself.”

Memecoin hopefuls have been snapping Solana’s crypto phone in droves after a recent price hike for Solana memecoin Bonk (BONK), which has risen more than 1,100% in the last 30 days. 

Since the Solana phone was launched on May 8 this year, new owners have been able to claim a free 30 million airdrop of the memecoin, but a recent rise in the token's price has presented an interesting arbitrage opportunity for buyers.

“Solana phone sales have >10x'd in the past 48 hours, and are now on track to sell out before the new year,” wrote Solana co-founder Raj Gokal in a Dec. 15 post to X (formerly Twitter).
