How to beat Chinese Scalpers at the Apple Store?

[JOSE891]

At the Apple Store here in Las Vegas there are usually a group of like 100 Chinese people camping out at the Apple Store, I know there in a group because they all know and talk to each other, It's like they come in a bus or something. This has been the case with the Apple Store I go on launch day with the 5 & 5s right before they open.

How can I beat them? I really want this phone and want to beat these little punks because this is ridiculous I can't get a phone on launch day thanks to them. I was thinking about camping out at the store like at 6pm the day before, do you think that would be a good time before they get there?

Either that or simply pre-order online and have it delivered to your home on launch day without having to wait in line or beat anyone up

I would but I can't order a Verizon model full price, I have Verizon prepaid.

Unfortunately it is first-come first-served and even though they may be scalpers, they are still a paying customer.

Get there before them or cross your fingers that Apple allows pre-orders/reservations.

I wouldn't blame them, i'd blame the impatient idiots who pay 3x the retail price just to get it a few weeks earlier. Where there is money to be made, someone will be there to make it.
