Story today is of a fellow who has bought and resold iPads for his friends and colleagues. Apparently, he goes to buy another one - sales clerk replies "Sorry sir, you've been cut-off". According to the sales clerk, the individual has reached the lifetime "maximum" of iPads that he's allowed to buy.
Huh? Really? Are there companies that DISCOURAGE sales? There must be something behind the story - I just don't get it.
Over the years, I've bought a ton of Dell Machines - for myself - and for friends and family. I can't imagine that Dell is anything but thrilled with my preference for Dell products.
This week, I received a gift certificate more Moore's Menswear as I had bought over $500 worth of clothes over the past few months. Can you imagine how odd it would have been to instead, having received a letter stating "I'm sorry, but you've bought 3 suits at Moore's - that's your lifetime maximum. Now go away!".
Too odd. I'm sure that there's probably a supply and demand sort of thing with the iPad (especially here in the Great White North), but to state that there is a limit? Truly a head-scratcher
