In case you haven’t noticed, senseless lawsuits absolutely push my buttons. So now this comes along – Woman sues Apple for $1M over iPhone price cut.
The gist of her complaint:
A New York woman is so angry at Apple Inc. for lopping $200 off the price of the iPhone that she’s filed a lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages.
Dongmei Li of Queens, N.Y., claimed the company violated price discrimination laws when it slashed the price of the 8-gigabyte iPhone by a third, from $599 to $399, within two months of the gadget’s June debut.
…
According to Li’s lawsuit, filed on Sept. 24 in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York, the price reduction injured early purchasers like herself because they cannot resell the product for the same profit as those who bought the cell phone following the price cut.
Who resells cell phones? $1 million in damages over $200? Excuse me, but I have to go bang my head on the wall for a while.
