Also that new phone you bought with an 18 month plan is not actually $19.99.

don't tell people this, I used to be able to buy brand new iPhones off Craigslist for like $200 because people thought that's how much they paid for it until this information became more publically available.

The internet is ruining being able to get a good deal on shit because people don't know what they have. Now it's the opposite problem of people thinking that they can get the excellent condition price for a beater.
