A crowd rushes through as the gates are opened at the Richmond International Raceway complex in Richmond, Va., Tuesday. All were hoping to get a used Apple iBook for $50.

I guess $50 was not the market-clearing price.

Selling 4 year old laptops. No wonder school taxes are so high. They could have given them to our school since our district can't afford those we were promised two years ago.

At least these laptops won't get the ZOTOB virus...

The Henrico County school system was selling 1,000 of the computers to county residents.
More government-employee geniuses who have trouble with free-market economics.
Injuries suffered, liability incurred, and far less revenue raised than if they hired a geek to put them on eBay.

A rush to purchase $50 used laptops turned into a violent stampede Tuesday, with people getting thrown to the pavement, beaten with a folding chair and nearly driven over.Sounds like a PC sale at the ECW arena!

Reading this, I thought what country was this in? I'm disappointed to see it was here.

Wealth redistribution by bureacrats. 'Twasn't their money to give away...

The herd goes ballistic. If the 'tards who held the sale would've offered *sealed bids* for those laptps they wouldn't have had this insanity. So much for common sense among rubes.

Dang, If you where in a group of 10 and spent $500.00 for 10 of those iBook, You could have resold those for around $500 and made $5,000. Now thats what I call ambitious. But if you took all 1,000 iBooks, Thats $500,000 minus, The $5,000.00 Investment, the salaries and expenses. You could almost retire instantly.
