I agree with the statement made about Brightpoint Inc. surging the prices for unlocked phones on the Ebay Reseller network. Often the "wholesale" prices exceed the normal retail price. However, Brightpoints direct competitor Brightstar Corp. is not any better. They are authorized distributors for Verizon Wireless and their prices are equivalent to the retail prices that are found in Verizon Wireless stores. It seems as though the only people making money in this business are the carriers, manufacturers and the distributors.
