Has anyone ever bought an iPhone from At&t with the subsidized deal then sold it on eBay? If so, did you make a nice profit? Would I be able to cancel the iPhone data package with At&t? Who would want to buy an iPhone on eBay for some of the astronomical prices they are selling for? Sorry, a lotta questions. Thanks guys.

If you buy a subsidized phone..it's going to be locked..virtually noone buys a locked phone from eBay..it needs to be unlocked..AT&T will not allow you to cancel the data plan for the iPhone..just wont' happen..you can reduce it to the cheapest plan now..

I bought my 3G on eBay just after the 3GS was released for a decent price..I did it because I didn't want to get back into a 2 year contract with AT&T..

Regards

Agreed locked iPhones are worth significantly less.
