Plus I can afford to replace what I destroy, so that lessens the pain of a moment's indiscretion.
It's the fact of looking for a stop-gap replacement until my contract runs out in the summer that's more troubling than the cost to replace my phone. Thank goodness RIM has Blackberry Protect, which wirelessly backs up all your contacts, messages, notes, etc., and it backed up on Monday. So when I finally get one it will not be as painful to get back up to my original speed.

Sorry that was a noncommittal statement. I have no idea what a used BB goes for, I just know they're losing their customer base to the iPhone, Android, and Windows phones, so I imagine the used market for their phones has a decent selection. Maybe used BBs aren't cheap exactly, but not full price either.
No need to apologize; I was just curious. I guess because I only need something temporary I think $100 is cheap but the 9780 goes for $150+ and the 9900 goes for $250+. If I were planning to stay with BB they would be a decent deals when compared to a non-contract price but I don't know if I'm going to stay on that (arguably) sinking ship.
