Someone has to have an auto buyer. That's the only thing that makes sense.
I should have been a programmer
For me, I notice iStock appears to 'cache' something locally or on their back end. For example iStock would continue to show instock for at least 1-2 minutes when both apple's website and seaturtle show them out of stock.
not able to confirm if istock show stock 'later' or 'faster' than the others, can only confirm the instock results 'linger' for longer
Thanks for the info but I'm looking for SG only...I know, I'm picky!
Little Rock has 64GB Space Gray VZ. You can use it on ATT. But you will pay full price.
I think only if you ordered it on contract. If you paid full price I doubt they'll switch it. but I don't know.
I tried doing this when I bought the 5 and they said no.
But remember, the scalpers are there as soon as the mall doors open, not just before Apple Store opens. I got to both my area locations by 8am and was greeted by an Apple Store person who asked what I wanted. When I told her 6+ she told me they'd already been claimed by the folks sitting on the bench. Look over and there are just 5 old Chinese folks who bought two a piece. I asked her what time they got there so she asked them. They said 6am. The mall doors open at 6am.
So I'm gonna try 5am. Yes, I'm getting that crazy. I'm tired of waiting lol.
Did you ever have luck with signing up for a new VZ account online then just picking up in store and paying outright? thanks
Wait thats possible? So make a new line via the apple site? Go to the store and then cancel and ask to pay full price? What happens with the line? Do they run a credit check? Teach me bmms8!
Do you happen to know which ones had? Also, did you experience the same issue everyone else is with the older Chinese people at the front of the line?
Thanks we'll double check, but that's not something deliberate. The ajax call may cache requests.
We'll see how it goes with the mails. We use a superfast paying service and you should get instant notifications.
If you have a case, you can ping us @istocknowcom with the ZIP and "cache" you notice thanks.
Those elderly folks have an abundance of free time, they were probably waiting outside the mall doors since 4am. BTW, they also thank you for paying taxes so they can enjoy free welfare, food stamps, housing and an obama phone.
Haha man I'm trying to figure it out. Ive heard conflicting stuff about it and I'm not sure yet. I definitely don't want to ruin my credit or have it be a huge hassle.
You also took the gift card i was going to buy!
They have what I call a "bot" - I use one for other limited things like Nike shoes. It will crawl the website until something is available, have all pre-sets including credit card information stored and can usually check out in seconds. If people are using them on Apple in your area, than your chances are virtually nonexistent.
That's what my store is doing. They show no inventory everyday. They had no 6 plus phones yesterday which was actually fine with me bc a scalper and his parents were first in lines. It really aggrevates me that the stores are catering to the scalpers and not the people who really want to enjoy the product. It must be nice to have no responsibility and be able to line up every day at 4:30.

bmms8, I MIGHT not need it. It depends, I should know by Monday or so. If you're still interested at that time, I'll let it go for what I paid (180). Let me know!
Back on topic, still refreshing. Some stock up in NJ.
Im located in MD. :l
Got my order in at NYC 5th Ave store for Gold 64GB+
I had to choose to create a new number as it wouldn't let me port at the time.
Few questions:
What are my options now? Can I still port my number over from a previous AT&T account (I'm moving from a business account to a personal line)?
Once I get to the store can I try to purchase the AT&T model outright and use it on T-mobile?

For sure no worries thanks. Im trying to get a VZ phone this weekend, i also had the same question as you in regards to using in store, but a genius on the boards said you do need it physically in person.
There are a couple VZ options i see in the bay area but i can't get a definite answer on the contract thing :/
I can't get in touch with any stores either as they're re routing to call centers
Holy hell

I'm too scared to try it. I've already got a hit on my credit report from some collection somewhere I have no idea about and I'm still investigating and I'm just worried about putting more weird dings on.
I'm just gonna try to line up on my next day off.
