Apple on Monday sold out its annual developers conference in record time. 
The quick sell-out has prompted several people to scalp tickets on eBay and Craigslist, with some priced as high as $4,599, nearly triple the sticker price of $1,599.
The Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, which runs June 6-10, sold out yesterday in under 12 hours, dramatically faster than last year when it took eight days to run out of tickets, and in 2009, when almost a month passed before Apple exhausted its supply.
Tickets for WWDC were priced at $1,599 Monday, the same as for the 2010 edition of the conference.
But people with extra activation codes — Apple allows developers to each buy multiple tickets, then hand out the activation codes to colleagues — have taken advantage of the high demand to shill their tickets at sky-high prices.
On Tuesday, eBay showed seven WWDC ticket listings, with prices ranging from a low of $2,125 to a high of $4,599. The latter is a “Buy It Now” price, meaning a customer can secure the ticket at that price without going through the auction process.
The ticket with the most bids stood at $3,000 at 3 p.m. ET.
And a pair of tickets on the New York and San Francisco editions of Craigslist have asking prices of $2,400 and $2,500, respectively. The California seller had priced his extra WWDC ticket Monday at $2,000, but bumped up the price by $500 several hours later.
