Shopper picks up iPhone AND $800US

Here's the story. This kid in Texas arrives at his local AT&T store at 6:00 AM on Friday the 29th to buy an iPhone. His effort pays off as he finds himself in 1st place.

Almost 12 hours later, a woman shows up with $16,000US in cash. Mark – the 1st place squatter – sells her his spot for $800US. Her intention was to buy a slew of phones and sell them all on Ebay. Apparantly, she was unaware of the "1 per customer" rule, and left with a single phone that ended up costing her $1400 (before activation).

As for Mark, he eventually got a phone of his own plus a mountain of accessories. Why not, right?

The moral of the story: Some people are lucky, some people are dumb. We'll let you work out which is which.

Thanks, Marco!
