I have seen lots of insanity in my 35 years in media and broadcasting.

More than you can shake the proverbial stick at!

THIS TAKES THE CAKE, THE ICING, AND THE MONEY APPARENTLY

I understand that TikTok is wildly popular in America.

Many, many people that I know or work with are addicted to spending time with TikTok.

Don't get me started on my kids!

They live on that platform. In fact, I am convinced that Mark Zuckerberg is behind the ban on TikTok.

No way to deny that you wouldn't be happy if Meta was the only one standing.

Well, and that other Elon fella.

We all are aware of the major TikTok ban that came and went in a few hours.

Some people deleted the app from their phones after it stopped working for a few hours. Well, that wasn't a good idea....or maybe it was.

Now, if you have an iPhone loaded with TikTok, you just might be holding some serious cash.

I am stunned by what I have researched and found in the last few hours. Here's one of many reports on this cash grab.

In a moment I'm going to show you how REAL this is at this point and time.

One reason that many folks are panicking is Apple and Google's removal of the TikTok app from their stores.

It is not there. Nobody knows if or when it will be back in those stores.

I spoke with a woman who lives near Greensboro, Alabama. She sent me proof of how much she made from selling her iPhone 15 yesterday.

She made $10,300 for her used device!!!

Did you read that?

Moments before I began to do this story, I logged into my eBay account and this is what I found in under 30 seconds.

That is crazy. THOUSANDS of dollars for a phone.

You can thank me later.

You heard it here first.
