If you call Apple Care (vs going to an Apple Store) you might have better luck getting your Original iPhone and iPhone 3G repaired/replaced.
One of my neighbors bought an Original iPhone on craigslist over the summer for real cheap because it had a crack on the screen, and the battery was old. He called Apple Care and got a replacement unit for $199 (out of warranty repair).
give them a call.

This is what the website claims but the phone still has to be in one piece. It can't have been shattered to the point of no return. Apple has no use for those parts and most likely won't take your $200 for a new one. All this depends on who you talk to and where you go though, as with all Apple exchanges.
And why is this stupid? In any other world, you would have to pay the unsubsidized price of the phone
Why would they let you keep it? They'd be giving you a new phone for $200; you can get something replaced giving they defective one back. I can't think of any company that operates in the way you're describing.
