Is it possible to get a 3g iPhone for $200? "used" on the open market?

After I called to check i could get an iPhone for $200 like 4 times, I sold my blackberry last night and went into the store today to buy one but apparently I am not "eligble" to get an iPhone for 200 and they want double.
I'm not paying that price, A) because I cant afford it, and B) I was told I was eligible but they dont care (obviously)
So is it possible for me to find a "used" but new, 3g iPhone for aroudn $200?
If they always go for 300-500 on the open market, I'm not going to waste my time and just switch carriers.
please tell me that i can.
Thanks guys.
This is really disappointing.

PsychedelicWonders,
Anybody selling an iPhone 3G that is carrier locked to AT&T is probably going to be asking for at least somewhere around $400.
Even if they live in a state that has overturned the Early Termination Fee, if you cancel in the first month or so you may still have to payback the subsidy that AT&T paid toward the cost if you don't return the phone. If you cancel after the first month or so, you will still have to pay the activation fee / first bill, and Early Termination Fee in most cases. That is going to add up.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.
