    That's more like a rip off than a deal.

    This doesn't qualify as a "tech bargain" it's $150 over the list price. It doesn't matter if it's sold out this still doesn't qualify as any sort of deal.

    to be honest the list price is a rip off already and not just on this phone All the phones but when something is out of stock people pay stupid prices as you can see Nexus 4 - 16GB - Black (Unlocked) Smartphone | eBay

    Man $499 is rip off. I originally planed to buy a Nexus 4 8GB for $299 +shipping and tax, but missed the deal fortunately ;). I was so mad to stay without smart phone, so I started to check Iphone prices in different sites and found an Iphone 4 32GB AT@T for $213 on Amazon in very good condition. Now that is deal!

    Good question :D 4 possible answers

    1- I may have something to do with that website

    2- since the phone is sold out that was a good deal for people paying $600 on ebay

    3- don't even care I just post links of websites and deals that may be good deal or may not

    4- I don't have anything else to do :p
