Link: NBC12 Online | Mob scene, several hurt in rush for cheap laptops.
What started as a sale turned into a mob scene as thousands of people pushed their way through the Richmond International Raceway gates to buy a $50 iBook laptop computer from Henrico County Schools this morning. The school district had only 1,000 of these surplus computers to sell, and Henrico County residents got first dibs.
Check out the video on NBC 12 site.
People will stampede over each other for cheap laptops. I have three year old lap top. I would not even wake up before 10 am to get one of these. Its much easier to pay the 1000 $ for nice new computer. Still people think that they are saving money by standing in line for 10 hours and fighting over old used stuff. Propably these people could have made atleast 15 bucs per hour in their work = 150 + 50 they paid for the lap top. Greed and penny pintching...
