The story, real, happened in the United States, in Texas, to be more specific. A woman, with purely Angolan instincts (OK, they are the same instincts for all countries), decided to buy an iPad from a “street vendor” who worked at a gas station.
The woman had reasons to be interested in the iPad that was “offered” to her. The price, 200 USD.
So, buying a device that could cost 800 USD for a price 4 times lower, even I would accept this deal! The big problem is that the woman forgot the basic rule of commerce: check the product.
To her surprise, she received a mirror instead of an iPad. The “salesman” lined the mirror to disguise it. The woman fell like a duck.
Moral of the story.
If they find an iPad that cheap, it's either defective, or “Chinese” or they're dreaming.
