Dante Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I admire this guys determination. He's so devious. Friggen best thing Ive read in a while. Selling a ps3 on ebay. I'll post the line but also cut and paste the text in case it isnt up long. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...09305&rd=1&rd=1 On Nov-17-06 at 23:22:28 PST, seller added the following information: Please read the amazing story of how i got this ps3 i went out wednesday afternoon to the local walmart to start camping out. when i got there, there were already 12 people ther so i got in line being number 13. i talked around and found out the first 6 people there had been there since monday, total hardcore nerds all planning to keep them. bragging about how only they should get the system since theyve been there the longest. how they are so dedicated and how if you dont want to do the time, you shouldnt get a system. generally being complete !@#$s. good for them. we had a hours to pass so we became friends and played some cards and whatnot. the 6 guys in front kept to themselves and didnt associate with the rest of us. we were cool with each other leaving the line to get food, bathroom, smoke, etc since we all knew each other and as long as they were back in 30 minutes. i was about to leave to go buy some KFC for a good number of us and when i stepped out of line, one of the nerds shouted that if i left, i would lose my spot. the other guys told him that they were vouching for me and that i was just getting food but those 6 !@#$s didnt care. they said i leave, i lose my spot and that was the rules and they would call the manager (they had his number) to come out and enforce it. i said whatever and stayed in line. a few hours later, the manager came out and told everyone that there were only going to be SEVEN available. they have them in their store and theyre not getting anymore. he told the people after # 7 they should leave if they wanted to not waste their time. me being number 13 should have left but i didnt, i wanted to stick around for a little bit more. everyone else left except me and the 7 other people that were getting it for sure. so the day goes on and i try to make friends with the nerds. i play mario kart on the ds with them and talk to them about the games they were getting. about an hour or 2 later, i tell im gonnna head home since im 8 in line and theres only 7 ps3s. one of them made some stupid joke about if i leave the line then i aint getting back in!! har har. so as im about to leave, i tell them im going to the vons next door and if any of them wanted any food or coffee and id bring it back to them. one of them said yea and all the rest like sheep followed and said yes too. they were gonna give me money but i told them it was on me since theyve been out here since monday. the 7th guy in line wanted some food and coffee and i told him id buy some for him also. so i go to vons and buy 8 coffees, some food, and some x-lax laxatives. i bring it to my car and put some laxatives in 6 of the coffees and seperate them from mine and #7s. i pull back to walmart and bring all the drinks and food upfront. i give #7 his stuff and then the coffees with laxatives to the 6 nerds annd wish them good luck and go back to my car. i park it around the corner so i can still see them. about 30 minutes later, #2 and 3 in line get up and it seemed like they were yelling to the other nerds. they both ran into walmart. seconds later (i guess all nerds have the same biology) #5 gets up and runs across the parking lot and into the trees and bushes somewhere. #1 is scrounging for this portapotty type thing he'd brought with him but he is squirting everywhere and all over his pants and their sleeping bags. he runs into walmart. at this time, i start my car and drive back to the walmart to claim my spot in line. when i get there #4 and 6 are gone but i dont know where. #7 is laughing his ass off so hard and i just smile at him. i call up 5 of the other people that i had made friends with that were in line with me ( i had their phone numbers cause i was gonne buy to food for everyone) and told them to get back to the walmart ASAP and get in line. Meanwhile, me and #7 threw all their sh-- into the parking lot and i claimed my spot as #1, him as #2. 4 and the people i had called arrived and got in line just as 1 of the nerds came running back and got #7. he started yelling saying they need their spots back. we all told them to !@#$ off, out of spot, out of line. it was all of us against him so he didnt say sh--. the nerds came back and tried to start some sh-- but we just laughed, we told them it was their rule and to go !@#$ themselves and clean the sh-- off their pants. the called security and security came. security man was like WTF is that !@#$in smell and looked at the nerds with sh-- all of them and kicked them off the grounds screaming LMAO. so that is how i got my ps3.

Fezmid Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Funny store, but I doubt it's true. If it IS true, each of the nerds could literally sue him and win easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I'm calling BS. First of all, why would "geeks" care about who was behind them in line? Second of all, it's not like "their rule" was legally binding. Last of all, it took this "jock" to figure out that one person could leave the line and get food/drinks for the others? Okay.

meazza Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 that is just pure stupidity 842763[/snapback] Any worse than people spending their time in front of a bestbuy to be the first to play a console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 its stupid because('scuse me while I get up on my soapbox), especially this time of year, that $600.00 could have gone to much better use, like the local food bank or toys for tots or someother cause that could actually benefit someone. not telling people how to spend thier money, but this was just plain stupid! Its awesome, makes all the fanbois cry. 842785[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 being an employee of circuit city, i would have to say there is not much stupider(?) than spending a moment of time inside or outside a best buy! I was so happy to see all the stories of problems outside BB or wal-marts...CC came away pretty unscathed Any worse than people spending their time in front of a bestbuy to be the first to play a console. 842810[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard about any problems anywhere in the Salt City, other than stores not recieving shipments (KMart, BJ's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
