This is true but everyone remember,

AMERICANS ARE JUST CRAZY CONSUMERS THEY BUY WHAT THEY DONT NEED, WITH MONEY THEY DONT HAVE ( CREDIT CARDS) AND THE REST OF THE WORLD JUST FOLLOW THEM!!!

One person in USA can have 23 credit cards just out of university. Now we who use cash must think befor we buy their silly gadgets!!! lipsrsealed

UNLEASHED: @ OP exactly the same thing at Trafford Centre in Manchester. You need to see people queuing up for iPhone 5 like apple is giving them out for free.

it's always like that for super brands......majority of the guys there aren't even interested in the product, they just want to sell their space or sell the phone to buyers @ the back of the queue. some people are also doing it for charity! the last time i did this was in march 2007 when playstation 3 was launched in the uk - that was even madder than this...

the point is getting it before ups delivers yours. the guys @ the front of the queue get good bargains. people pay them double the price of one! so they are getting one iPhone free and one for the buyer!

'I'm always in the top five in the queue which is quite nice. When I first started doing this I was right at the front but I've worked my way down.
'I'm doing this for my own benefit. I'm getting two, keeping one and selling the other one to someone at the back of the queue.
'I've sold my spot in the queue for £900 before and have been offered £500 for my space this time but I can sell a phone to someone at the back for more money.
'I'll make a good amount.
'I don't get bored doing this because I know all the guys and I'm used to it.

'This is the third time I've done this and although the cold is quite bad I know a lot of people here.
'I'm here for two of my friends - one's paying me £500 and the other £200. I've pre ordered mine already so that'll be sent to my house.
'They've given me the money for the phones so I get the £700 to keep, so when people laugh at you, you're actually laughing back at them because I'm walking away with more than a weeks wages.'

When i watched it on CNN earlier today i was like wow! You need to see the queues. Even in tokyo, japan. People came out in numbers inside the rain just so they can be one of the first people to buy an iphone 5. Soon, they'll say Nigerians embarrase any imported commodity technology. This iphone 5 has made blackberry valueless in Naija. The ministry is indeed moving to the permanent site. No level for girls with blackberry again..

You mean that wasn't clear enough for you to understand? Seriously??
Okay, they buy and sell @ double the price (to someone who can't afford to queue and can't wait for the delivery either).
Now, that's the bargain!!! Except you want that translated to Igbo...

To them that's a bargain. That's not my definition of a bargain fortunately. I see it as a waste of precious time and life. I can spend those two days in queue being productive.

You can calm down now.

£700 = $1000 is not worth it? most people don't make that in a week of 8am - 6pm going to work everyday! their food/drink were provided by apple and they just camped there! it's the easiest way of making money!

I do have a job and make money. That doesn't mean I should be a slave to it. $1000 can come and go in anyone's life.
