17 people injured trying to get cheap laptops

This is sad ... just sad. If people are this desperate, they need to get a life.

Oh, by the way, I also read 1 report somewhere else that stated a woman was so desperate to not loose her place in line, that she urinated on herself.

4 year old machines? hmmmm it's a good catch for $50 bux I guess if you don't need anything new or state of the art, but is it really worth the hassle? They're only good for people that write documents and check their email every now and then.. on top of it all were they apple machines..

I'm happy with my $3,000 lappy, glad there were no such conditions when I bought mine

"A Chair Was Thrown"..

Wow....how low do people go...

"A Child's Buggy Was Crushed"

That is pathetic....GROW UP, ITS AN APPLE PIECE OF JUNK~

All for a computer, seems kinda stupid but it would only take one person in the crowd to get the rest to start fighting.

 

[ammo]

woah, just woah

 

[KPR]

and one desperate buyer tried to drive his car through the crowd.

Thats desperation and insane.

I don't think that would happen in the UK. The UK is the ONLY country I know where people will queue for anything......

 

[killaklown]

wow damn! i would have bought 1, so i can maybe code/design on the road, nothing else to do when you go for a trip :P (if they were powerful enough :P)

Of course, there's the roudy professional soccer games.

"An Elderly man was injured" .. good grief - as Cobalt said, how low can you go?!

That only happens out of the UK with the Brits involved!

That is bloody sad! Idiotic people.

And would let the person behind go in front :hehe:

And here I thought people only did that for cabbage patch kids and tickle me elmos. Geesh, some people. Laptops have come way down in price, used ones are pretty cheap. These people apparently never check ebay.

 

[TWM]

Does anyone know the specs?

I really think they could have gotten the same response if they were sold for 100, and doubled their income. O well.

hehe, i only live a little bit away from whre this happened . They were laptops of students that attended the high school there, they were pretty good, I knew a few people that went there and got to play with these same machines before doing tech support for my friends. Great deal for 50 bucks..

Literally...

Books, Films, Bargain Days...

etc. etc. etc.

The list goes on...

Its sad who greed can overwhelm people so badly.

Shame on them...

 

[Humdizzy]

I would of gone lower... a lot lower.

I would of been there 3 days before and I would of told early people that the sale was post-poned.

 

[Rudy]

Shame on them...

Yeah, I agree. Too many people get worked up on too many issues like that.

 

[dsotmoon]

this was about 3 hours from where i live, craziness forsure

 

[Zeeble]

The thing is, most people don't even need it.

I would like to point out, that there is nothing wrong with greed. It is what keeps the world going around. The problem is when people cannot control that greed when they need to.
