The pandora continues to be expensive even as a second-hand device. I had to wheel and deal to get a 1ghz one for less than 800 dollars (canadian) about a year ago (CIB, good condition with no hinge or case cracks). Not sure what it's like now that ED has injected some more stock into the market but it was tough out there when I was looking and resellers were adamant about the price.
Recently while showing it to a nerd friend he asked the price and was completely taken aback when I revealed the sad truth. I was asked if I would do it again, and responded without question that I would.
Its the most expensive second hand device I've ever owned, but also the most powerful and practical. I would rather spend the full price on a Pyra than buy another subsidized smartphone with a neutered corporate OS that I have to trick into doing what I want.
