Seller must be having a laugh. I paid £6 for mine and its OK as a glovebox torch. Handlebar mount is actually quite good.
I dont mind abit of capitalism, but £42! What a rip off. Thats 7 times what he paid.
No one from here i hope
If he sells a few I wish it was me? How much do Apple pay for an iPhone and charge? If an iPhone is sold at approx. £350 do they cost Apple £50 to produce? It sounds reasonable nut I bet they cost less than that to put together. Yes I know they have overheads the Torch seller doesn't but so what? I suspect that he will have bugger all chance of selling at that price. If it was me I'd do it as an auction starting at price cost plus 25% and see what I got. I suspect though there is bugger all chance it will sell unless someone comes across it without getting any links to other sellers.
Good luck to him/her I say.

Intrigued by this question I did a quick Google and...
The reputedly reliable market research people at [url= http://www.isuppli.com/Teardowns-Manufacturing-and-Pricing/News/Pages/iPhone-4-Carries-Bill-of-Materials-of-187-51-According-to-iSuppli.aspx ]iSuppli say $187.51[/url] for all the parts of the 16GB iPhone 4, which iSells on Apple's iOnline iStore for from [url= http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone?mco=OTY2ODA2OQ ]199 iDollars[/url].
Obviously a lot of the final bill for the handset is subsidised by the phone company, and I bet the cost of parts has dropped significantly over time, but I'd be surprised at a 700% markup, even from a company as graspingly, suffocatingly avaricious as Apple. (I'm a recovering Apple fanboi, can you tell?)
So yeah, wow, £42! Cheeky sod!
if you scroll down the same thing is in the most watched for £1.50
