Someone Just Bought This Fake Apple Watch Prototype For $260 On eBay

The Apple Watch will probably launch sometime over the next few months, but it looks like at least one Apple fan was eager enough to pay $260 for a sketchy-looking "prototype."

A so-called Apple Watch prototype just sold for $260 on Tuesday morning, Cult of Mac reported. The seller of the watch claims that he or she got it from a cousin that works at Apple, saying that it's "brand new and works perfectly."
