Are you ****ing kidding? Two-day express shipping to Europe, how much do you think that costs...
I really don't care. He wanted to send iPads overseas, he paid the price. Nobody said he had to express ship anything. Like those people in Europe could not wait for the iPad to launch over there.
People like that are the reason why it takes a while for supply to catch up with demand. I remember the Wii debacle quite well. Some ******* here bought all the Wii's when they came in here. Come to find out, he had a friend that worked for Wal-mart that was tipping him off as to when the inventory was being replenished. Every time a shipment of Wii's was due to come in, like clock work, the dude was there purchasing them. He was selling them on e-Bay and making a killing.
When they found out about the employee and the buyers arrangement, the Wal-mart employee was fired.
If there were not a limit on how many iPads a person can get, I could just see someone buying a bunch of them. Had a similiar situation with AT&T and the iPhone. AT&T initially announced that it would be like one per person or two per person. Little young guy walks in, we were waiting in line. They told us they had 10 of this model and 15 of this model. We make it into the door. You can see the guy telling the AT&T rep that he has to get one for him, his wife, and their six children. That's eight iphones, They ring his purchases up, activate them, and he leaves. He just pretty much decimated the 16gb (which was the one they had ten of). So there are two 16gbs left. Store manager comes out, and tells the people waiting that there are no more 16 gigabytes left. They could opt for the 32 gigabyte or begin the preorder process.
Now, yeah, maybe the dude had a child, but I doubt he had that many children and I am willing to bet he sold them on eBay and made a killing. That is why there are limits. Now when the iPad is launched in most places and their is adequate supply, then go ahead and buy as many as you like. You can't turn around on eBay and selling them for ridiculous prices then cause it would be cheaper for them to just order it from Apple.
