Some better off school discricts will issue laptops to all of thier students. When getting a new set, it's pretty commonplace to sell them at a token price to help offset the purchase price of the new set.
When I got my PS2, well, one of them anyway (I actually got six on the first day and sold five of them) the one I got from a store where I didn't pre-order I stood in line, and one of the clerks came out and gave everyone a priority ticket (I was #36) and when they'd handed out enough to cover their inventory, sent everyone home. This is what you do when there's a big crowd.
I saw the crowds for the $39 Apex DVD players at Wal Mart on the news. I don't go shopping the day after Thanksgiving, and it's mob induced stupidity like that in this article that is the reason why. I hope the chair guy gets arrested for assault.
