Well, you’re not wrong, but you might want to consider all the implications before you do so. Take this pair of gentlemen who worked at the Salem, New Hampshire Apple Store. They apparently nicked 332 iPhones from their employers and sold them off before getting caught by the cops.

The estimated value of the stolen phones was about $132,468, and the two have been charged with felony theft. Let that be a lesson to you, would-be black marketeers. Stick to selling Nintendo Wiis on eBay, ‘kay?
