Sweet, and to put just to put the icing on the cake, wouldn't it of been sweet if she got mugged and lost the lot on the way out.
People like that make me sick,depriving the true followers. Just so she could make a fast buck.

I think the assumption was, that with 16 grand in her mitt, she was looking to buy loads and sell them at a profit.
Which in all fairness, was the way I saw it.

she was, she said about ebay in a slightly clipped part of the video....
i can just barely understand why people paid silly money for consoles before their launches if it was around christmas time as these days a lot of parents cant be bothered to say no to a kid, but to pay silly money for a phone that'll be in massive production within a month of launching is just daft.....no way apple will restrict supply too long on these puppies.....

I heard a hundred grand mentioned to spend, but 16 grand in the hand.
Either way, too much money and not enough brains, IMO 
I'd be interested to know how she got the dough, but that's a different subject.
