eBay seller pays $800 for #1 spot in line, missing ONE important piece of info

[basicfiend]

So even with tax, why are people paying upwards of $700 on eBay? Am I missing something here? Oh the stupidity!

Some stores did sell out, I read that Texas had none, even in apple stores.

International people also thinking they can get it work in their home country.

OMG!!! This is soooo funny

Folks, this is divine justice. You'd expect someone who is obviously affluent to conduct herself in a dignified manner, instead she acted like someone who scalps hot concert tickets for a living. And I like the Kid (Mark?), he must have done something good (again: divine justice). I'm guessing maybe the older gentleman who was with him is his dad?

I find it funny that the people waiting in line played along and no one turned her attention to the one-iPhone-per-customer rule. Kudos to you people.

Now she has what could be the most expensive iPhone sold on Friday - how about that for a hot item on eBay ("as seen on the web all around the world ...").

Honestly, I can't stop laughing

Listen, if anyone knows how to contact this woman, please direct her to me. I have a wonderful bridge in NYC that I need to sell ASAP

Hilarious!

Notice that they didn't have any interviews of her afterwards, haha. By doing that she would have not only bought the first place in line, but also the entire ine and a lot of people would have gone home iPhoneless due to her wealth. So Ha freaking HA!!

Plus the kid was smart to have friends each buy one. Cool and cute kid.

Maybe she can sell it on Ebay as the original " i(Was Owned)Phone.

That was a great laugh! That lady must feel like a complete idiot.

Oh, that's great...I heard about this story, but I didn't know it was caught on tape. Outstanding!

I LOVE IT!!!!

This lady pays $1400 ($800 to the first guy in line and $600 for the iPhone) to sell it on ebay for what, maybe $500.

Sweet.

I would like to recommend the initiation of a new piece of terminology that I feel adequately describes this woman's experience...
