Sorry, Apple ][, I can't resist: You do realize that the scalper bosses are bankrolled and masterminded by Hasidic wirepullers. No mainland Chinese immigrants could handle international business like this on their own . . .

I have no idea who is bankrolling them. Arrest them all, from the top down.

So I gather what you're really upset about are the brown people ahead of you who bought iPads before you did? Because, last time I checked, a white guy who speaks english (like me) can also be buying an iPad to sell on Craigslist, yet, surprisingly, you haven't considered the possibility that the $300 profit you could make by flipping an iPad would entice anyone buy minorities and foreigners.

I just hate racists, especially ones who try to claim moral high ground with an arbitrary reason to hate some other group.

Standing in a line for three hours to try to make $300 does not make you a hoodlum. You're clearly a racist and a xenophobe though.

I agree. Apple }{ is a twisted little person who needs some serious self-realization but is unlikely to ever achieve it. Sadly, there seems to be no end of such people these days. Their self-absorbency and selfishness is a big piece of what's wrong with this country - and the world. Oddly enough, many of them think of themselves as good Christians. Go figure.

I give up. You are supposed to say, "Ok, I see your point, no more ethnic baiting in my rants about scalpers, I realize it is no longer acceptable in the modern world, Auschwitz and Bosnia have taught us that, it's one big world now and we all have to get along."

But I suspect that didn't cross your mind, so I give up on you.

Thanks to you and cameronj and some others over the last few days, maybe at least he will begin to reflect. But I really give up.

I disagree with that. There will always be wars and sometimes war is the best option. Peace is often for the weak minded and cowardly, especially when it's a false peace brought on by appeasement.

And I am not against any Chinese people at all, only Chinese scalpers, which is something that I've stated numerous times. Even the Chinese guy waiting on line next to me thought that the Chinese scalpers sucked, since he wasn't able to get his iPad either.

Even newspaper articles which refer to the scalpers mention their ethnicity specifically. Political correctness is an ugly disease which will never infect me. There is nothing wrong with stating and reporting simple facts.

Aside from the bad here, Apple won't, no, they can't wait, they will HAVE to find a way to produce these products or it's going to suck for them big time.

They WILL dig into that stock pile of cash, and make some amazing things happen they will.

If, on top of everything else, Japan's government sees that critical industries are about to go under, you can bet that arrangements will be made to prioritize electricity in their direction.

Don't know Teckstud, definitely not Da--who said anything about him? He lives in Las Vegas, this one is in NY. You are right, he's entitiled to his opinion, but his 25 snaggly posts per day are a drag on the forum, just like his sower-of-discord predecessors. He got me early with his totally gratuitous Obama dig, meant only stir up trouble.

They get banned for being provocateurs, not for their opinions.

I believe that every legal method available should be employed to stop the scalpers. When people start messing with Apple and my ability to obtain their products, then that means war.

If an American goes to China and engages in criminal activity, they would probably find themselves getting deported also, as it should be. That's how it is in many countries around the world.

Those scalpers had better watch out.

When did buying two iPads become illegal? When did reselling your own private property become illegal? What criminal activities did they engage in? Absolutely none that I can see. In fact, they're engaging in classic capitalism.

We may think it's unfair that people buy iPads simply to resell them, but unless Apple wants to put tighter controls on selling (one to a customer, credit card and ID required, central database of all purchasers), that's how it's going to be.

Your piece is highly speculative. You haven't identified any key supplier and much more, you haven't identified supplies (if any) from these sources that Apple already has in stock. Pretty sure they already counted on high demand (not quite as high as has been demonstrated, though). I would be willing to bet that Apple has 1+ month supply already with its manufacturers in China. Many of these companies, if they are sole source, have stated on their respective websites that their operations are either not impacted or will resume operations within a month.

Oh oh, here we go again with the scalpers!

I tried to find a scalper who would sell me one but I guess I have to go to NYC.

Thanks for the laugh, sir!

If the issue is the effects of the earthquake then no amount of money is going to speed things up. Not enough to satisfy all the whiners that want their new itoy now like a pack of Verucas.


And amazingly, it really won't matter to the customers. They will bitch and moan and hassle the store staff. And wait it out. Maybe 0.0001% will go off and get a Xoom or whatever but the rest will be there when the iPads finally show up. And within like 5 minutes they will be over the ire. Meanwhile the Xoom will sell maybe a 1000 units, HP wont get to unit 9001 and the tab two will have half the end user sales and double the returns rate of gen 1. All thanks to Stevie and his Apple koolaid

You sound like a 5 year old bitching and crying cause he didn't get an IPad 2. Get over it and move on.

FYI I think I might have been in front of you in line. I was that hoodlum who purcahsed two. I sold one and I'm currently using the other one. I sorry would you like some fly rice with your wine.

A 5 year old could've devised a better plan and system than Apple currently has. And your post where you state that you sold your second iPad only further proves my point that Apple should limit sales to 1 per person.

And I have moved on, since I've now ordered mine online. It'll take a while before I get it, but I can wait.

The Apple fiasco is far from over though, because it will only get worse with each new iOS device . It's a good thing that I'm not really interested in an iPhone 5, because come the summertime, that launch will also probably be pure hell and scalper infested.

I don't see how there is anything wrong with that. I figure that anyone that stands in line has to take their chances of getting or not getting an iPad 2. I certainly envy those dealers that can sell an iPad 2 for twice the price in China, though. Seeing a suitcase full of iPads 2s is astounding. I guess airline luggage doesn't get checked for anything except drugs if that many iPad 2s can be shipped at once.

Me having to wait to get an iPad 2 doesn't bother me at all, so if most of China gets iPad 2s before I do, I'm not complaining. I'm an Apple shareholder, so I don't care who's buying iPads as long as the stock continues to climb. I'm not suffering at all for not getting an iPad 2 on the day it was released. Another month or so won't matter at all.


great comment!

I'm surprised they charged it right off and it won't ship for 4wks.

So far they only charged it for my cover which shipped within 24hrs and nothing until yesterday. Once they had charged my card for the cover it was off and running with the shipment process.

That seems like a philosophy purely designed to ensure that you don't get to do a lot of awesome things over the cost of a couple bucks. Everyone has to make their own financial decisions, but say the concert of your life was put on sale for just too cheap, meaning that it sold out in 2 minutes online. That $100 might be found only for $150 online. Are you really going to miss the best concert ever for $50?
