Woman Buys Wooden iPad

[Verdilian]

Dang, she acted rather foolishly for not looking at the item beforehand.

Still want those crooks taken in custody though.

Hey! This isn't funny! My best friend died from Wooden IPad syndrome!

We should be looking for a cure instead of making fun of the poor saps who actually pay money for these things!

You're going to buy something from a bunch of shady guys and not even open and check it on the spot, right then and there? Man. Semi-illegal and stupid. Or is that even "semi-"?

I love some of the stories scammers try and use. One guy came up to me asking if I would like to buy an iPad for $80, 62" TV for $250, or a laptop for $100. I asked if they were stolen and he said no, so then I asked how he is able to sell them so cheap. He told me he works at Best Buy and that he just "marks them off the inventory". I'm pretty sure that's still theft.

Anonymous shady seller? ... Check!
Suspicious parking lot rendezvous? ... Check!
Cash transaction for "whatever you've got in your pocket" for something you could Ebay for twice as much? ...Check!
No time to have you see the merchandise? ... Check!

Seems legit.

I say go for it

hahaha, this has made me laugh hard sir, perfect point of insertion for a trollface...


Still a Wooden iPad is actually more useful, when you compare the price, I mean have you ever tried using an iPad as a drink platter, or to kill a bug, or to prop up a table, or as a nonlethal throwing weapon, or as a makeshift pingpong paddle, or as a light duty hammer, or as firewood? it sucks at all of those things a piece of wood can do just fine! and she only paid $180 for it, now she can spend the other $300(ish) that she didn't spend on an iPad and buy a netbook or a tablet that does more... AND she gets an awesome piece of wood outa the deal too, with all of the previously mentioned functionality!

Really? Whatever happened to that old phrase "If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is"?
