We Survived!!!

Well, we did it! Yep..the reason I have been MIA for the past week is that we camped out at Walmart for 2 1/2 days!!!! We spent all of that time waiting for the Playstation 3 to be released. We showed up at Tuesday at 8:00pm and they were released at 12:01am Friday! We were the 5th and 6th persons in line and they only had 6 playstations. We actually had fun waiting in line and made a few friends while we were at it. It was a great group of people who did not care if you needed to go to the restroom or get out of line to go and buy a drink. While we were there the guys actually stacked up a few boxes to make a table and then played Monopoly and Risk! The first night we slept in reclining lawn chairs with sleeping masks on! The next day Walmart Corp. made a nation wide policy that no one could be camping out at a Walmart, so we then had to go outside. The managers there were so nice!!! They went out of their way to make it easy on us to move the line outside. We lined up our cars and then camped out! Nathan and I had our conversion van with a TV in it and the back seat that folds down into a full sized bed! It was just like camping! The guys spent the afternoon playing football in the Walmart Parking lot and then we ordered pizza for dinner! At midnight the managers came out and walked us into the store and back to layaway. One at a time we were able to purchase the Playstations and then as a group they escorted us back out to our cars for safety! We went home and put both Nathan and I's playstations on ebay. I think that everyone who was in line at Walmart, waited 2 days to make a proffit on ebay! Our first one sold for $1525.00...we paid $599.00 for it! After our costs and our ebay fees, we ended up making about $1400.00 PROFFIT!!!!!! Basically Nathan got his new laptop and I got my new Nikon D50 for FREEE!!!! Woo-hoo! :D Yes everyone thought we were nuts, but Nathan was able to work from there and I just took a couple of days off to chill so why not? I would say that is pretty good pay for two days! Here are some pictures of the episode.....
