Don’t Take Any Wooden IPads

Posted on August 30, 2011 by Killian Bundy

How dumb is really dumb?

South Carolina Woman Buys Wooden iPad for $180

A woman from South Carolina was looking to score a sweet deal on an iPad, but what she got instead was a block of wood with a photo of an iPad pasted to the top.

Ms. Ashley Mcdowell, from Spartanburg, South Carolina was purchasing dinner from a local McDonald’s when she was approached by two men in the parking lot, who wanted to sell her either an iPad or a laptop.

While showing her a brand new iPad, the men explained that they had purchased the iPads in bulk, and were now selling them for the discounted price of $300 from the trunk of their rimless Impala. McDowell explained that she only had $180 in cash with her, and the men generously agreed to accept the money.

The men handed her a Fed Ex box, and rather than checking it out at the scene, McDowell drove home. When she opened the box, she didn’t find an iPad – instead, she found a piece of wood that had been painted black and decorated with an Apple logo.

Two clichés that come readily to mind are, you get what you pay for and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
