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.

If they're going camping, it's likely that there won't be cell service. A company can buy the things at wholesale. As for eBay, I just went there and checked. All the prepaid phones there are selling for less than they cost at Walmart.
Care to try again for a good reason to buy 100 prepaid cell phones at retail prices?
