I bought mine at the AT&T store in Murray, KY for 423 after tax, and you can find an unlock sim for about 20-30 bucks on ebay netting to 450, but the main thing is people are paying for peace of mind about not messing up their new iphone (seeing as how most have a no DOA guarantee) not to mention the convenience of not having to spend the hour or so it takes to actually jailbreak/unlock/get the apps.

Long story short. They raise their price because people buy them.

The issue is that most phones sold for a few months now by Apple can't be software upgraded. You need to use a special SIM card when you fit your own SIM card into it.

So many of the software hackable phones on ebay now (sold with Firmware 1.1.1 or earlier) are scarce are becoming quite valuable.
