By popular request, we bring you the story of the woman who bought her way to the front of an iPhone line at an AT&T store (for $800, which meant she bought an 8GB iPhone plus accessories for the guy who was #1 in line) with the intent to buy $100,000 worth of Apple iPhones to sell on eBay.
On problem: she didn’t know about AT&T’s one iPhone per customer limit:

Actually, she is very lucky!
iPhones on ebay are NOT selling for big profits. Or in many cases, not selling at all.
If she bought $100,000 worth of iPhones, she would have lost much more that just $800.
And she made it on TV.
(granted, that’s not the type of publicity I would have wanted)

Good point.
I saw FALSE!! This seems completely setup, and I wouldn’t expect much less from Fox News.
I didn’t ask for this, I distinctly ordered Ham and Swiss on Rye. What is this, American cheese?
Okay, where the hell are the Mac stories? Leopard, new hardware, anyone? Beuller?
Fscking eBay vulture. Serves her right. Pisses me off when people buy up stock of a hot item to profit from it on eBay, preventing the people who REALLY want the product from getting one unless they’re willing (and able) to pay a hefty premium.
Now if only Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo could pull off a launch like this.
Damn, they left out the bit where she swallows a bottle of pills and slashes her wrists.
I have just one question: How does such an obvious retard get her hands on $100K in the first place? Now that’s weird!
The girl in front of me in line (I was 4th) had her phone pre-sold on e-bay for $2,000 plus shipping. Not bad for a day’s work, eh?
Maybe you’ve heard of the Wii and the DS Lite? Now if Stevo could pull off launches like that….. He’d probably end up like Bill G.
Well there are plenty of iPhones on sale on eBay now!
Would the political idiots please shut up? Thank you.
my dad lives outside of texas (wylie)
he saw this on the news, apparently it is all true.
and most ebay scums take out loans for big purchases and then make a small profit after they sell their shit.
mdn word: problems. muhahaha
“I have just one question: How does such an obvious retard get her hands on $100K in the first place? Now that’s weird!”
If she’s like a lot of people who think they’ve figured out a get rich quick scheme, she probably re-financed her home to pull out all the equity.

It’s too bad you can’t view this video on the iPhone.

Yes. I agree. I saw this article first on my iPhone, at a pit stop between gigs. But only just now watched the video, on a Mac, after arriving at my destination.
Is YouTube H.264 conversion only for the iPhone/AppleTV/LG Phones? Or will their website videos eventually be converted as well?
Sorry, the above video is “live leak” not YouTube. But my question stands.
Flashing all that cash, I’m surprised she didn’t get mugged in broad daylight !!
Being a teacher who runs a school broadcast, and uses Macs by the way to generate graphics and edit all the footage, it wouldn’t have been hard for someone to create that footage themselves.
Not that we make fake news stories.
And the mic? We have our own official mic as well when we do interviews. So those folks could have bought one somewhere.
Who’s the dick head who would pay 1000 or more for the same product you can get in the shop for half the price.
By the way I’m over stocked with Playstation 3’s if anyone wants one. I have 25. 200 dollars each. please buy one.
This dumb broad was driving a Porsche Cayenne SUV so I’m sure she could afford it. I wonder how many PS3’s she hocked on ebay to buy that thing.
Even the great Woz only got two phones. Damn that woman’s arrogance for thinking she could buy more than Woz.
