People have strange ideas of worth

pecuniumWhat would you pay for a first generation iPhone?
Because I saw someone offering one (still in the packaging), for $500, another $100 will get it unlocked.
Seems to me (what with the oddities I recall of unlocked iPhones becoming bricked), that's a pretty high price (new, they were $499, and that got rebated. Right now the 3g is (so it seems to me) $160 up front.
Is there some hugely collectible nature to them? Some hidden value for the phone in the box? Because I am just not seeing how it can be worth $600.
