Honestly, the price is simply based on currentl supply and demand. Almost anyone with an old F&C plan can't get any newer BB than the tour, and because of the sprint policy kicking in this weekend, its gotta be done by sunday. While a tour could have been had for less a week ago, the demand for them skyrocketed, at least with the people (F&C plans) I deal with - I sold 8 in the last 2 days - and I dont generally sell phones, as well as several palm 755 - for the same reason.
Also, sorry I had a typo with the 5 off in the original price. As for the discrepancy in price between camera and non camera - most people are willing to pay very little for a phone without a camera - ask them why - again, a supply and demand thing. Again, just to be totally clear, this is not a good price at all if you have a simply everything plan, but if you have anything older, - especially with the old bb soc codes active on your plan (that are long since gone) its now or never...
The phones are in Brooklyn - feel free to pickup. Otherwise - you pay the overnight ship.
Also, if you have a smartphone on your line on F&C, and cant upgrade online due to "not being 39.99 plan or higher", for your addons, (if this is you, you know who you are, if your'e not sure, logon and see if you can upgrade an addon, if yes this is not you) I will buy your upgrade off you for $75, and upgrade b4 sunday. Your plan will not be affected except that your contract will be extended for 2 years. Keep in mind after the weekend, you can still upgrade to a non smartphone in store, (usually), but you will not get your rebate as you can't put the non smartphone on the line, because you wont be able to put it back on. Anyway, after that elongated speech, if you think its not a good deal, feel free to ignore the post, or comment on it, or whatever...If you are interested, pm me.
