Sayed said he was willing to pay the large premium for the spot because he wanted to take the tablet on a business trip for which he was leaving on Friday night.
After the sale, Foote says she will probably use the money to see Lady Gaga in concert.
So, people CAN be really as dumb and stupid as they actually look.
This chick just looks like an eccentric, neurotic egghead.
Granted, she was smart for selling the spot (which she probably had no intention of doing until the edited by ddp approached her) but anyone that stands in line for that long for something that will be widely available is simply.........."a few bricks short of a load".
Wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her
$900 for 48 hours is $18.75/ hour which is higher than the starting base pay for an RN where I live.
She looks like she smells.
lissenup2, you make a comment like that again & you will be banned off this site, understood!!! post edited.
Wow, she's paying for college and she's going to spend the money on concert tickets?
People are dumb.. It is just a stupid iPad.. Is it worth the $900 + another $500+ for a large screen iPod Touch? People with way too much money and not enough brains.
Anyone that would pay $1400 for an iPad 2 deserves what they will get; I hope the jailbreakers just sit back and let these people suffer under the iron fist of Steve Jobs.

According to the news Apple may have sold 500,000 iPad 2 tablets on the weekend. Retail stores ran out of the precious iPad 2. This is a good indication that Apple will sell millions in the coming weeks as the manufacturer prepares to ship them to the stores. Apple fans will come out and buy them no matter what they cost. . But the iPad 2 can also be obtained for free if you follow certain conditions at http://www.digitalundivide.com

you cant sell a spot in a line.serious surprised the people in the line didnt go nuts when the person pushed in.if i was waiting in line for something and someone walked up and pushed in I wouldnt care who they'd paid i'd still demand they go to the back of the line.
$21.95 an hour to sit on your ass and do nothing sounds pretty good.
"you cant sell a spot in a line.serious surprised the people in the line didnt go nuts when the person pushed in.if i was waiting in line for something and someone walked up and pushed in I wouldnt care who they'd paid i'd still demand they go to the back of the line."
Why does it matter? If it was me, you could demand and I'd laugh at you and take the spot. It's not like she let someone jump her, causing you to have to wait longer. She gave her spot to someone else and left the line. That's totally fair and has no negative impact on you other than whatever psychological impact you choose to give it.

Heck, I would tell the guy "give me $500 and you can have my spot".

You sound like you'd be the trouble-maker, not the person who made a simple (slightly crazy) business transaction.

However, I guess its not much different when I bought a Wii on eBay for my son. Many people were forced to wait in line, or wait for stores to get them in stock. I tried and failed. Finally I paid a premium price to someone on eBay who had done the hard part and acquired a new Wii.

Originally posted by alexeemo:It is true, money can buy just about anything. They used to say it could not buy love, but I think that might be up for debate these days. For some people, all things Apple are love. For others it may be Microsoft or Sony.
