Huh? Now that deserves to go into the HOS.

My surprise is that a no-contract phone would cost more than $400 over an upgrade eligible phone.

@Dan - A contract is well worth over $400.
Lets say I am on a page plus plan, and wanted to get an iPhone. On eBay it would cost around $625-$650.

If I used someones contract, and bought it through bestbuy, I would only need to pay $150.

OP is asking for someone's upgrade which isn't going to get new contract pricing.

New contract pricing ≠ Upgrade contract pricing

Why doesn't an upgrade get new contract pricing?? Most phones can be had for same price with new account and upgrade.

But not all phones/stores price out their phones like that.

For ex I don't believe Sams Club does.
Radio Shack doesn't sometimes and others as well.

Are those stores ever cheaper than Amazon?
Sprint.com is $599 no contract/$249 upgrade/$149 new plan.

Hence my question, when will it be worth paying $400 for someone's upgrade?

I don't think it's worth it. Not because the stores aren't cheaper but because you can get a better deal on eBay most of the time IMO.

+1
unless op is calculating for example samsung galaxy s4 $599.99 + tax to buy it straight up= $641.99
upgrade price is $249.99 + tax $267.49 -$50 rebate=  $217.49
so op would pay $617.49 a savings of..... $24.50 IMHO alot of trouble to go through for that amount of money but you never know...

these number are calculated at nj sales tax of 7%

Maybe OP is offering $400 period. And the Acct holder has to pay the remaining cost ;).
