Nope.. it's DEFINITELY you!! I just hit up notoriously inexpensive cell phone website, Amazon.com, & as it turns out, the exceedingly mid-grade, several years old Samsung Galaxy S3 is selling for $425 outright. Lol, you clearly do NOT know what you're talking about. I know, you guys like to use Nexus as the ONE example & pretend like that's common handset pricing. Hopefully you're aware that it isn't, and are just being sneaky & disingenuous... and are not genuinely ignorant. Also, in the case of the Nexus 4.. it doesn't even have 4g LTE..! Get real...
Then your post gets REALLY nonsensical. Wtf? $1000 for a 3GS is fine, but $400 for a 5C is ridiculous? Those are BOTH plastic phones. I am totally confused. Sounds like you just randomly choose what is cheap or expensive, with ABSOLUTELY no rhyme or reason whatsoever.
