This story is absolutely hilarious... check out what happens to one woman when she tries to buy $100,000 worth of iPhones from an AT&T store, and how one smart young man at the front of the line was able to capitalize on the situation.

Ha! Sometimes money DOES talk. It says, "You're stupid!"

Next time she comes up with a bright, money-making idea, she should just leave her husband's money in the bank and go bake a pie.

That was wonderful. It warms the bitter void in my chest to see one of these Ebay entrepreneurs get their dreams of exploitation smashed apart. I'm guessing the reason why we don't see more of her after learning the store's policy is less likely do with rushing home to bake them brownies than creative and abundant use of the term "@!$%#".

She carried $16,000 in cash and wasn't robbed at gunpoint? That is something to be happy with in itself.
