$50 iBooks

This has got to be one of the funniest stories I have ever heard, I almost busted my gut laughing at the people in this story.

Apparently a county in Virginia was selling 4 year old Apple laptops for a bargain-basement price of $50.00. People starting lining up at 1am and it just went nuts from there… cutting in line, bruises, scrapes and mayhem… I guess they had 1,000 of them, and about 12,000 people showed up.

This kind of reminds me of stories I have heard about during those after Thanksgiving day sales when stores give away free stuff for the first 50 shoppers or whatever.

Here’s some quotes that I enjoyed from CNN:

Blandine Alexander, 33, said one woman standing in front of her was so desperate to retain her place in line that she urinated on herself.

-and-

Jesse Sandler said he was one of the people pushing forward, using a folding chair he had brought with him to beat back people who tried to cut in front of him. “I took my chair here and I threw it over my shoulder and I went, ‘Bam,’” the 20-year-old said nonchalantly, his eyes glued to the screen of his new iBook, as he tapped away on the keyboard at a testing station. “They were getting in front of me and I was there a lot earlier than them, so I thought that it was just,” he said.
