These "entrepreneurs" who show up at big tech launches and buy merchandise just to resell it are no better than scalpers, and I'm glad the scheme isn't paying off for them. Consumerist had a story earlier this week about a woman who paid $800 to skip to the front of an iPhone line, thinking she'd buy out the whole stock, and resell them... only to have her plans ruined by Apple's two-phone maximum. She lost the dough and I bet she hasn't even sold the two she did get. This is pleasing to me. That's what you get for trying to rip off gadget-fiending geeks! -David M. Ewalt

What kind of "businesswoman" would invest $800 only for the privilege of buying merchandise with uncertain demand? lol
