The PinePhone has no more value than what the Pine Store still sells it for. It's pretty much still a work in progress and not a consumer grade phone.
I think there are probably a few would be so-called scalpers that intended to flip a PinePhone before seeing it in this light and cancelled their pre-order (probably regular buyers in the same boat too). And there will be buyers who either sell or auction their PinePhones because it does not immediately work the way they expected or they will hold on to it until it does. They might make a little more than they bought it for on an auction - there are few on ebay right now to observe. What has also happened on ebay was ebay de-listed at least one (may be more) PinePhone(s) someone was trying to sell for either $500 or $800 because someone beady-eyed complained to ebay!
Pine64 really seemed to struggle to sell the entire PMOS batch, sales were open almost right up until shipment date August 24th.
