Watch an obnoxious lady try to buy thousands of dollars worth of iphones:

You know the news crew had to know how this would turn out and tagged along for the hilarity.

Oh, and anyone who flashes that much cash in public is an idiot.

She wanted to buy thousands of dollars worth of iphones? Why?

Some sort of marketing scheme or something?

Since I never buy anything as soon as it comes out, that wouldn't really affect me directly...

Super high yield short term investment. Due to scarcity, she could sell them on Ebay for outrageous prices (in some cases 180%+ of retail price) and they would sell like hotcakes.

She wanted to do like all those folks did with whatever the latest game console was, and buy them early and sell 'em on ebay for a profit.
