This is Lincolnshire -- Mobile phones with the popular Flappy Birds game are being put up for sale on eBay for as much as £25,000. Following the decision of Flappy Birds creator Dong Nguyen to withdraw the game from app stores, enterprising sellers have taken to the auction site - and some of the prices for their mobile devices are eye-watering.I am sorry 'Flappy Bird' users, 22 hours from now, I will take 'Flappy Bird' down. I cannot take this anymore.

A seller in Limerick, Ireland, is selling their iPhone 5S Black, with the game installed, for £24,921.92. A Welsh eBay user has put their Samsung Galaxy 4 mini up for sale with a Buy It Now price of £20,000. Twitter users have already set up hashtags about the game, including #RIPFlappyBird and #SaveFlappyBird. The game, which involved negotiating a bird through various obstacles, was simple but very addictive as few users could keep going for more than a few seconds. It was downloaded more than 50 million times, making it this year's most popular mobile game.
