Best part of the article. Poor "ordinary" customer lost her god given right to own an ipad :( Damn those evil unordinary Chinese customers willing to pay more...over there in Chinaland... Brings tears to my eyes. This seems to be where all the crying is going on, so I figured it was the right place for me.

No the best part is that the Media will come up with a 'sensational' story no matter what. Last year with CC only sales to cut back on this the media ran stories about crippled children being turned away at the counter with cash in hand. This year with lines full of people with cash in hand waiting to buy for resell the media finds a poor old lady who was denied her 'god given right' to buy an iPad today.

He's a scumbag because helping deplete stock then he'll sell them for more then retail and people won't have a choice if they want one right away.

there IS a cohice. it's called getting in line earlier than everyone else, or waking up early (or staying up late) to order the ipad online before everyone else. teh guy with 80k cash may be taking advantage of the system (which i dont see myself doing, but have no problem with him doing it). if you want the ipad2 bad enough, go and get it, dont everyone blow up the boards about scalpers and make racists comments.
 
I did get one. It's more about the shady practices of putting one person in line then stuffing 10 people in line with them right before 5 pm to see if you get away with it.
