Those are subsidized prices. Sometimes you can get them used for $99.
I never buy used phones as they usually are broken.

 Dear Community

 The other day I was working on a year-in-review letter when Minh (the
 incredible community update author) ask me if I would be willing to
 answer questions about community matters. I would love to! was my
 response. What a relief, I thought to myself, as I was seriously stuck
  trying to
 find the right words to describe all that happened in 2008.

 So if you're interesting in taking part in this interview, please send your
 questions to Minh. Nothing is off limits. Your questions will help me
 immensely
 as I review what we have experienced and what meaning it holds for us moving
 forward.

 Happy holidays to all.

 Sincerely,

 Sean

 Dear friends,

 Update newsletter. I invite every subscriber of this list to post the
 question
 or questions that s-he cares about most. No gloves. The general
  topic is
 Openmoko, the community, past-present-future, but yours truly will
 select with undue care the 3-5 most interesting / provocative / popular /
 relevant / funny / whatever and forward them to Sean next Monday. You may
 send
 your questions in this mailing list thread or privately to me.

 Minh

 PS: Everybody knows that Sean Moss-Pultz is Openmoko CEO, but you may also

Umm It's not too hard to work out actually.

For the Neo 1973:
Find 3 current owners who aren't using it and make them an offer.

For the Neo Freerunner:
Wait til GTAv3 is released and then watch as the price of second hand 
Freerunners plummet as all the developers and hackers upgrade...
For better or for worse, they all will. there's community for you.

Well... there's the answer. Don't ask me when GTAv3 will be released 
though... :p
