These suppliers get the phones from Hong Kong. Official, unlocked iphones are available in Hong Kong over the counter. This is because unlike the US, most people buy their phone then select a carrier, in Hong Kong. They are $4400HKD right now.

Hey FlyedLice,

whats the price for the 3G with 8GB at Shanghai?

Here at Xi`an they want 4500 Yuan +300 Yuan for the SIM-Adapter Card and 300 Yuan for the installation, after talkting to them maybe 5000 Yuan. Was a reasonable Shop with PSP, NDS and Apple Stuff.

Greetings

Just in case you weren’t aware, Alibaba is full of scammers. A Trustpass from their website means nothing as anybody can buy one. Sellers who claim to be in HK could easily be in mainland China. Don’t deal with anybody in Putian City! They’re all scammers. They will send you a $50 “iclone”, or, more likely, just disappear with your money.

Here in Shanghai, you can buy unlocked 3g iPhones at most electronics markets. But you’d better be here in person, or have a friend buy it for you, to see what you’re getting before you pay. Caveat emptor.
