I'm going to wait a few days to see what impact today's announcement will have on eBay iPhones, but I was curious to see what other people thought. Do you think now that they are selling a $99 8GB 3G iPhone, the price of 3G iPhones will drop significantly?

Seems like the high cost of upgrading to the 3Gs might keep the supply of 3G iPhones lower than if it were cheaper to upgrade.

BTW, I currently have a 2G iPhone and am looking to upgrade for cheap. I'd like a 16GB model.
 
It looks like $400-500 is the going rate on eBay right now for a 16gb 3G iPhone.

Does anyone think prices will come down significantly (down to $200 or so) after the 3Gs is released?

I just wonder given the number of iPhones out there, whether there is that much demand for an unlocked iPhone (since it makes no sense to pay more for a 3G iPhone if you are going with AT&T anyway).
