Where is the best place to buy an iphone without a contract?

Recently my phone got stolen and i just upgraded it. Sprint says they don't take phones off of amazon. But i really don't want to pay 700 for an iphone

Added (1). ebay is not acceptable as well

Ebay?

Well unfortunately, the "off contract" price of an iPhone hovers around $500-$700.

So… You're pretty much out of luck. No one is going to sell them for cheaper.

Even refurbished iPhones cost at least $350, and those are used.

The best place would be the Applestore. But you're going to pay full price. Only other alternative is Amazon for a local repair shop that sells them used. Worst case just by an unlocked 5 or 4s if the 5c or 5s is too steep. Best luck.
