Yeah I was suggesting this may even be below market value as selling to Vupen is probably considered more acceptable than selling on the black market for a likely even higher price. With regards to users flash player has more users than iOS but the exploit was cheaper, while these users might not be as valuable as iOS users neither market is what you would consider small. And finally it's unlikely they would sell it to mass users for extremely cheap and risk it leaking. It's probably more out of desperation, Vupen has heaps of long term customers who they have promised the ability to hack phones to, it's probably embarrassing to them if they can't hack them most popular phone model out there.
