sevfiv Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 One group of new friends in the line reported four men ahead of them had paid day laborers $400 cash and delivered three meals a day to them in exchange for standing in line up until about 11 p.m. The men declined to comment.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/4342033.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Sen. John Edwards tried to throw his political weight around and had his Aides call Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart of all places, and got a "You can stand in line like the rest of these nice people , Senator."

TJones Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Wal*Mart hates Sen. Edwards...http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories....6445&EDATE= I know the minimum wage story, that's why I question the validity of the PS3 story. But, if that is an "official" Wal-Mart memo, then WOW ! Where is TOMIKA ! I would like to hear her take on this. Judah, I think that if someone drug you out in front of the whole country and tried to bring you down and call you bad things and tried to tell you how to run your business that you worked so hard to make the best, that you might have a little animosity towards them, don't you think ?

TJones Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 There is a poor woman who is a client of mine. She and a friend of her's stood in line at different retailers here in the city, since Wednesday. They each got a PS3. They currently have them on ebay, and one of the PS3's is bidding at $10k. I told her not to hold her breath, and don't get her hopes up too high. She probably won't see a dime of it. I am not gonna tell her how to run her show, but if it were me, and I had that auction going. I would close it down immediately, I would then start a new one with a "buy it now" on it, and get a realistic amount of money for it. If it were REALLY me though, I would never stand in line for something as superficial as a PS3, I would wait until March, when they'll be everywhere. Looks like the average is $850 to $1200 bucks, depending on just how much stuff comes with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a whole list of conditions for selling one -- maybe they had problems with sellers last time a new system came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
