Random dudes in a McDonalds parking lot: Hey we bought a bunch of iPads in bulk and are selling them for $300 each.
Dumbest person on the planet: But I only have $180.
Random dudes: Hmmm... Oh, you are breaking by balls. But okay, $180 it is.
Dumbest person: Yipee, I got an iPad!
Dumbest person goes home, opens the box and finds a piece of wood.
Apparently this is a true story from South Carolina.
It's just hard to feel sorry for someone this dumb. Never trust the guys in the McDonald's parking lots. The REAL deals are in the Burger King parking lots folks, geez!

"The REAL deals are in the Burger King parking lots folks, geez!"
Not many Burger Kings over here near SC. Living near SC... I can completely believe that the story is true. I regularly drive to the right on dual lane roads as it gives me the best opportunity for passing traffic (passed 10 cars who were all lined up in the passing lane just yesterday). I know two people who bought GM stock "after" bankruptcy was announced.
People down here are pretty darn slow...

The art of the scam... or taking money from idiots.
You see it everywhere and as long as there are idiots there will be people preying on them.

"a piece of wood painted black with an Apple logo."
Somebody buy's something from a stranger in a McDonald's parking lot and doesn't test it first? At least they attempted to make it look like an iPad.

Real hawkers work the canal district and such places, and will happily let you take them aside and check out the product. Just don't let the NYPD catch you.
