Once factory unlocked phones are sold by Apple, then I suppose they might be available on eBay. But wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy from Apple? I wouldn't pay full price just to resell it on eBay for less.

If I bought a contract phone from a carrier, then resold it right away, it would still be carrier locked.
