If you have been waiting for the price to drop below $300 to pick up a BlackBerry Priv, your time has come. Right now, you can pick one up at eBay for just $299, which is the lowest we have seen it yet.
Before you really dive in, it needs to be noted that this is an unlocked AT&T model, but the listing is for a brand-new unit. Looking at the ad, it's the exact same retailer who was selling them previously for as high as $380.
Also keep in mind, the device will come with Lollipop loaded but Android Marshmallow is in beta right now for AT&T users through the BlackBerry Beta Zone, so official release isn't far off meaning, there's less 'risk' in being stuck on Lollipop now when purchasing an unlocked AT&T model.
