Amazon wrote off on their financials $170 million in unsold Fire phones. That means they considered them a total loss. Phones that were made, but unsold, and now Amazon is free to get anything for them as they've already written them off their books.

Ergo...they are starting by dropping the price by $200. Time will tell how much further they have to drop the price before just dumping them into a landfill.
