LOL thats so funny! i went with a bunch of people too! actually i hadnt planned on it. i was simply telling my friends about waiting on line at june 20 and told them about whole foods. soon enough, i was waiting on line with my boyfriend and MOM, my boyfriends guyfriend, two of my girlfriends, another one of my girlfriends and HER boyfriend and her brother!
i sold a few of theirs on ebay too !
in terms of getting it cheap, i agree... pick the right day for it. generally as a seller, they say the best times to sell (where prices are highest) is around 2 pm when ppl come back from work and browse the internet, as well as on sunday nights and monday afternoons.
so to avoid paying a lot of money, try buying at off peak hours. generally weekend nights like friday and saturday 2-3 am is generally really really slow.
hope this helps! gluck finding your new bag!
