Celebrities will do just about anything for an iPhone 4. While actor Jason Bateman was passionately booed as he skipped thousands of people in line at the Los Angeles Apple Store on opening day, NFL lineman Stacey Andrews was a little more discreet in his quest.
Popping into a Wal-Mart in Little Rock on Thursday, Andrews bumped into Brittany Hightower, who happened to be holding the last iPhone 4 in stock. Unfazed, he proceeded to offer her a thousand bucks for the device. Hightower refused… until the offer was bumped to $2000. You don’t say no to $2000. That’s just good business, and Hightower seems patient enough to wait a little while longer.
For your reference, an iPhone 4 costs $700 without a plan. Doubtlessly, Hightower will now buy three.
She should have held out for 4 or 5 thousand.
