Google I/O Sells Out In 20 Minutes
netbuzz writes "Last year it took almost an hour, but this morning Google's enormously popular conference for developers sold out in about 20 minutes, Vic Gundotra, Google's senior vice president of engineering, told his followers on Google+. 'While we're overwhelmed with the interest and enthusiasm around Google I/O, we know it can be very disappointing and frustrating when an event sells out this quickly,' he wrote. Those who did not get tickets were not only disappointed and angry, but mystified as to why they were left out of a first-come, first-served sale despite being online and ready to buy the second the bell rang. And, of course, tickets were quickly being scalped on eBay." Of course, everyone who gets in drives away in a free Tesla.
This is no different than acting in self-defense if someone comes at you with a knife & you shoot them..... except not that extreme. They shouldn't have described damaged good as "new" or "like new". They shouldn't have broken the law and oversold a ticket at more than it's worth.
The scammer deserves to be scammed out of his item for his attempted fraud/theft of my money. (Actually I'd say he deserves to be jailed, but I'm not a cop. I can't exercise that power.)
