A distributor authorized by Apple in Malaysia, has achieved something unheard of, gather 11,000 people at the doors of his store to get an iPhone settlement for $ 50.
In addition to offering this succulent price for the Apple terminal, they also decided to put on sale some units of iPad Air 2, MacBook Air and an iMac. All with a very reduced price.
The only one, but to find one, is that they were exposure devices and somewhat outdated. Hence, the company made this succulent discount.
The problem of the iPhone at $ 50
Switch Mall
The company did not measure the magnitude that these offers could have, until 24 hours before the sale began, customers started queuing nearby.
There were even people who began to spend the night at the doors of the distributor. As the opening time came, the clientele increased, until it reached the 11,000 customers who were waiting for their desired Apple device at a ridiculous price.
It did not help that Switch (this is the name of this Malaysian distributor), distributed numbers to have an order among the first winners, or warn that they would not serve the users who made night at the doors of the store or the shopping center .
At the time of opening, it was impossible to control all customers who wanted to get an iPad Air 2 for $ 80, a MacBook Air for 130 or an iMac for just $ 255.
Both the iPhone 5s for $ 50, as the other devices, were limited units, so they could not supply all the public who wanted to buy some of their products at such low cost.
The number of available products was only 200 units, which was impossible to meet the demand of customers who had crammed the mall where the store was located.
Switch decided not to attend to any client to check the chaos that was forming, so the offers would be postponed until further notice and with another publication system. This new notice is not yet known as or when it will be, some possibilities could be the sale online or directly in the physical store but without notifying the clients of the promotion
