Hey, help me with the reasoning on this. When figuring if I could afford to upgrade from the 3GS to the 4 I checked what it might sell the 3GS for on ebay and craigslist.

When I saw them going for $300+ over the new price on ebay, I figured it was just the crooks looking for suckers.

When I saw the same prices being asked for on craigslist, I was stumped. What's the reasoning? Is that the surcharge for getting iphone without a contract? Yeah, and you could still update the iOS, but I saw 3G going for a premium, also.

If so, how do you get iphone service on AT&T without a 2 year contract? T-mobile, sure, but not AT&T. Or is that just "buyer be ware"?

I was totally blown away by these prices.
