agreed but who is to say what something is worth and not worth?
alot goes into the design of devices many forget the price includes all the development engineering design marketing as well as hardware. testing shipping we as the consumer get to pay for it all.
are the prices hiked up alot? not as much as most think. I see the cost to ATT for devices there isn't a phone that doesn't go out for less than what ATT paid when bought on a new or upgrade contract except the iPhone.
Mark-up is in most cases less than 100%
If you wanna see jacked up prices check out the jewelry industry talk about mark_up in many cases almost 1000%
