We don’t know how legitimate this auction actually was, however, an unlocked BlackBerry 9000 was listed on eBay earlier today and they had some pretty good close up pictures of the device as well.
The seller listed 2 BlackBerry 9000 devices for sale at a starting price of $399.99. It isn’t clear why the auction was canceled, however, the seller said that they did have the devices in stock even though they wouldn’t ship them until August.

I’d bet that the PR team at RIM picked it up in their sweep and made some calls and pulled some strings to have it pulled. One legal team calling another.
Now, if that’s the actual 9000…

Seller promises that this particular unlocked phone is actually in stock now and ready to ship for the lucky winner!!

i’d be surprised if all the services are even ready to be used on the device.

…i’ll believe thats the 9000 when RIM announces it is. until then, its all just speculation to me.

You think that same ebay seller has a couple of Verizon Curves on hand? I’d be interested in taking a gander at them.
