So not everyone and their dogs will have one. Even in the US I sold one on their craigslist for 1000+ so good luck with that. Quote:

was there today no stock. the apple store people even took out those line managing poles out for people to line up.. there was like 30 people lined up and they made us wait for an hour only to tell us they do not have any.
talked to a bunch of people there they said they will most likely get a restock on thursday/friday so go then.... bestbuy said that they got less shipped in than they were supposed to but they are taking pre-orders for a $100 down.
sooo if you need one ASAP i guess go down to the states on thursday

sooo if you need one ASAP i guess go down to the states on thursday | Fedex does the shipping. Even if they say there's none in stock, if you spot a fedex guy around, just charge in and wait for what's in the delivery.
I waited in line on Saturday, at 1045 they said no stock, go home. At 11, I spotted the Fedex guy and got dibs on the ipads. Since the line disappeared, people who DID NOT line up just got lucky and purchased one.
So go around 11am and camp. FYI fedex guy wears a brown jumpsuit, he enters the Lynnwood apple store on the side door near sephora. Posted via RS Mobile | |

And definitely check Target and Wal-Mart for stock. If you google online, you can find the Target stock check on their website, and the scan codes for the ipad you want.

Launch date for Targets...
Bellingham 12 in total
Burlington 5 in total
Launch date for BB
Burlington 15 in total, 5 the day after
Targets and BB are pretty much a waste of time, since 12 means 1 for each model/colour.

With no release date set for the iPad 2 in Hong Kong, the devices have fetched close to $15,000 Hong Kong dollars (US$1,924) on the city’s gray market—more than double what they’re retailing for in the U.S. Quote:
Bloomberg
A white iPad 2
Stores have been paying couriers in the U.S., the only market where the iPad 2 is currently sold, to buy as many iPads as they can before flying back with them to Hong Kong.
At the store Like, in Sin Tat Plaza, the new iPads were on sale for HK$6,800-HK$14,800, depending on storage capabilities and connectivity. In the U.S., the devices retail for US$499-US$829. Like sold 40-50 of the new iPads on Sunday, shopkeeper Alex Kei said. As of Monday night, the store had 10 iPads left. But he said sales of the original iPad, which were set at the same price points, flew off shelves faster last year.
Hong Kong One, another shop in Sin Tat Plaza, said it sold about 100 iPads Sunday and another 100 Monday, charging HK$6,800-HK$13,000. Like most stores in the mall, the white iPads are commanding a premium. For the top-end model, the white iPads are HK$2,000 more than comparable black units at Hong Kong One. (Black and white models for the same specifications don’t vary in prices in the U.S.)
At Men Tone Digital Telecom, shopkeeper Jealousy Kwok was unpacking large boxes filled with iPad 2s.
“There’s no more room in here,” Mr. Kwok said, pointing to overfilled shelves. The store had close to 100 iPads in stock Monday night after selling about 30 devices Sunday.
On Thursday, the day before the iPad 2 went on sale in the U.S., Men Tone had set the prices at HK$6,000-HK$11,000—with customers putting down a 50% deposit. But after the first day of sales, the store raised its prices to HK$7,250 for the base model and HK$12,000 for the top-end 64GB model with wireless and third-generation wireless access.
“Hong Kong doesn’t have any iPads, and the people here have money,” Mr. Shum said of the premium. His store is expecting to receive about 50 more devices each day for about a week.

You want it but you don't have access to the market? Pay a premium
Most people don't give a shit about the ipad so thats why they wait. If you care, then pay Posted via RS Mobile | |
