"And if I tell them it's legal and none of their business? After all, it isn't...

You can tell them that, but I doubt they'll be satisfied. They'll probably investigate further, but without your cooperation.

If you tell them what you intend to use the cell phones for, then they might be satisfied and drop the matter, if your reason makes any sense.

I'd be really, really interested in hearing what reason somone might give for buying 100 cell phones at retail prices. I can't think of any.

Someone might have a big group going camping . A company may want them to keep on hand for emergencies. If the prices are cheap enough, even at retail, they might want to resell them on eBay. This happens - I bought a bunch of Harry Potter bags a few years ago at retail for about $12 a piece and sold them on eBay for at least a $10 profit each.

This is just off the top of my head. But the way I look at it, if I'm buying a legal product legally, I don't see that I should ipso facto be investigated for doing so.
