Topping tech headlines on Monday, mobile gamers went into mourning after the high-flying sensation Flappy Bird was mysteriously pulled from the App Store and Google Play.

Some took advantage of game’s demise to make some quick cash, posting iOS and Android devices with Flappy Bird installed on eBay. One Flappy Bird-equipped Phone 5s recieved 74 bids in less than a day, bringing it up to $99,900. But you don’t have to shell out big bucks to get a taste of the game. Here are 5 Alternatives to Flappy Bird. For more on the future of the game, check out Why Flappy Bird Could Be Nintendo’s Savior.

Meanwhile, with all the money you saved from not buying those pricey Flappy Bird phones, you can get yourself an LG 55-inch OLED HDTV, which just got a little more affordable. Originally launched in July with a $14,999 price tag, shoppers can now pick one up for $8,000. Add on LG’s $1,000 instant rebate for U.S. consumers, and the television is a relative bargain at $7,000.
