Best Buy now selling refurbed iPhone 3Gs

You know what's awesome about used phones? They're usually cheaper than new ones. Like that time AT&T started selling refurbished iPhone 3Gs for $50 off (even $100 off), fr'instance. Best Buy's getting on the action now, too, hawking the reconditioned 8 giggers for $149 and the 16GB models for $249 on contract at 350 of its Best Buy Mobile locations nationwide. Since AT&T's pushing these for the same price directly, wouldn't Equivalent Buy be a better name for this joint?

I suppose they don't have cheaper non-contract refurbs.

We're not allowed to sell them outright yet. ATT tells us when we can do that. So don't blame us.

I'd rather we be able to sell iphones outright. We have so many hispanic and indian people ask us if they can just buy one without a contract.
