Just lookin through the NewEgg catalog, and noticed the hyper threaded P4 is same price as the 400 MHz non-hyper threaded. I am not usre what hyper threaded means, if it gives 800 Mhz FSB as advertised, shouldn't it be rather pricey compared to the 400 Mhz FSB?
 
You'll probably find that the 400MHz ones are more pricey than what they should be compared to the 800MHz/HT ones 🙂😉 Older technology like processors seem to stick at high prices, as they can still make money from those people who don't/can't change their motherboards 🙂

HyperThreading

As for pricing... It's basic economics.
