someone is paying me $400 to stay in iphone queue for them i will need to wait 24 hours do you think this is worth it
 
I camp out for free, but only because I'm the one getting the phone. If someone were to pay me $400 to hold a spot, I'd do it for sure!
 
I say, do it if you can. I think it's laughable that someone is willing to pay $400 extra just to make sure that they get a new phone first though.

The first two guys in line last year at the Fifth Avenue store had their spots bought out for $1,250 each just to move to third and fourth. Crazy how much people are willing to spend just to be first.

It's actually really sad when you think about it. I don't want to get all preachy, but that kind of money could literally change someone's life, and people use it to get a phone which they probably plan to keep for less than a year just a little sooner.
