A 99¢ Only Store in California will sell 9 iPhones for 99¢ each on August 9th to the first 9 customers in line. Other deals will follow.

The store is cheaping out on the customers offering only the 4GB model, but at 99¢, there’s really no room for complaining. The next 99 customers will have the opportunity to buy a scooter for 99¢. Not a bad deal if I say myself.

The event takes place to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the 99¢ Only chain. If you’d like to attend, the store, which happens to be the first 99¢ store opened, can be found on La Tijera Boulevard in Westchester, CA.

Attendees will include 99¢ Only Stores founder and chairman, Dave Gold and his wife, Sherry Gold. Invitees include Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Tyra Banks, which begs the question, What does Tyra Banks have to do with any of this?

Customers who miss out on the 4GB iPhone and the scooter will have a chance to buy other items, usually priced higher, for 99¢. The following was taken from the press release:

“The following 99 customers can buy a large glass vase – a $29.99 value – for 99¢ only! The next 999 customers can buy an official Year 2000 Millennium 36-pin collector’s edition set for 99¢ only! These amazing deals don’t stop here.
