Woman Tries To Buy $100K Of Apple iPhone

[dgridley]

The woman featured in this video probably should have called ahead as she paid $800 for the first spot in line to buy $100,000 of the Apple iPhone in hopes of reselling them on eBay. The problem: AT&T had restricted the sale of the revolutionary new cell phone to strictly one per customer. After discovering that “money doesn’t buy everything”, the woman presumably went home with her single iPhone, while the guy who sold her his spot at the head of the line had an extra $800 to spend on iPhone accessories!

:hehe:

First I've seen of it. Funny stuff. :D She really thought they'd let her buy out the whole store's worth of inventory?

 

[dgridley]

Yeah, she was being kinda optimistic wasn't she? Wonder how she paid back the Mafia loan shark she got the $100k from? :hehe:

Maybe she signed up for 30 new credit cards right before she went.

Damn, sounds like something I would do if I had $100k! Or should I say, something I would've tried to do...

I love how cocky she was. "I'm going to sell them all on eBay, so it's cool." Shhhhhhh. You're not clever because you have an eBay account and can call your local television station to show off the inheritance that your rich uncle gave you.

</rant>

But seriously, what a lack of foresight.

That's way too much to invest for a phone IMO, especially trying to sell it on eBay.

 

[dgridley]

Yeah, I agree.. I mean how much profit per phone did she expect to make? Not worth shelling out that kinda dough on spec IMO

Well iPhones are selling for double on ebay what their retail is, and there's enough demand that she could sell, what, 150 phones?

Ha I actually laughed out loud.

An estimated 1mil+ iPhones have already sold and they are only selling for $60 more on ebay from what I have seen. :D

 

[dgridley]

AT&T might have done speculators a favor by limiting sales.. think if this woman had bought $100k and tried to sell them on eBay only to be stuck with loads of them....
