Final selling price: $233.50. Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks the thing might actually be repairable. Hope the buyer knows what they're getting into. =P

13 hours to go, looks like it's jumped to ~$150. I'll have to try again later when I'm a bit richer.

I might actually have one of those lying around...

Oh, I don't have an iOpener, that is clever. I just have a heat gun... I wonder if any old heated beanbag would work. You can make those super easily, and I've already been planning on doing some up for household use anyways.

The only things I'm missing are the suction cup and spudgers, which I've already got on order. I've read that a thin, flat putty knife could be helpful too. Kinda want to pop open an iPhone 5 some day too, and that could come in handy. Truth be told, I'll probably do it if I can get the phone...

I'll let you know. It's only at $2.50 now but there's still two days left for bidding. My Q10 was under $50 until the last few hours when it shot up to $150.

I do most of my parts shopping at etradesupply, and they've always been pretty quality. They've got a lot of parts listed for the HTC One as well, including the front top and bottom. Replacing them might be tricky, however. Doesn't look like an easily user serviceable phone.
