They may have received it as an upgrade (and therefore only paid the subsidized price of $200). Probably keeping their old phones still on the account. Think of it as 'commodotizing' their upgrade. One can do this every year when a new iPhone model comes out (since they seem to allow you to upgrade at the subsidized price every year instead of every 2 years when your contract is about to run out). Heck, that seems to be cheap (compared to eBay prices). I don't think it's a scam (price is too high...but not so high compared to fleabay so he can sell it quickly).
