It sounds like the seller is either trying it on, or he genuinely bought a fake ipnone 4 not realising, but fake or replica means they can justify charging what he appears to be. At the end of the day, you do pay for the name with these things, that's why you can get replicas of rc cars now for a fraction of what they we're based on are.

Yes indeed, most of the Apple, Samsung, HTC, etc is 70% from thesame factory's, it's really funny when people are fanatic about Apple or HTC and when you visit that company you seen a production of the 2 'brands' on thesame place with only a few meters between them.
I even saw once a factory where they made RC cars (a well know brand) and they made 10 meters further parts for another brand (also a very know one) so China is a small world
