I know this is not Craigslist, but I figures this group was the best
way to reach all the MoRers! Sorry if it's offending you :)

I have a few iPhones for sale. They're brand new 8GB and unlocked for
Rogers, Fido or Videotron.

I'm selling them -very- cheap: 500$ a pop plus taxes. You get an
invoice to write the expense off, and everything that's normally
included with the phone (ie: accessories). They're firmware 1.1.3
(easily upgradable to 1.1.4 I hear)

If you're interested, call me at 450-522-8379, or send me an email!

Apple sells them for $400 + taxes. I guess yours was either: a clone,
used, defective, or the seller simply likes losing money! I
personally had to pay US sales tax and duties when importing them in
the country.

Unlocked iPhones normally sell for between 550$ and 650$ in Quebec.
At 500$, they're a steal.

No seriously, I paid $399 while i was in Florida in November, but it
was when the dollar was $1.10 US, so it cost less than Americans
payed. $375 is the number i have in my head after diff, but maybe I
skipped the state tax in that calc.

Chris,

Exactly. That just doesn't count. ;-)

It must be the cognitive dissonance working to justify how much I paid
for my phone ;-)

Cognitive dissonance doesn't work when you have a wife.

Luckily I'm not married yet...

I'll let your know if my girlfriend overrules me anyway ;-)
