Queuing 14+ Hours For SHOES!

Not just any pair of shoes, mine you. They are a new line of Jimmy Choo shoes that are being sold, for the first time at H&M on Regent Street cheaply, as low as £49.99. Well, not exactly cheap, cheap, but cheap by Jimmy Choo standards. Well, with this new line of Jimmy Choo's it looks like "now everyone can wear Jimmy Choo"!

Unsurprisingly, soon after, some of these shoes are already on eBay and selling at double the price. That's entrepreneurship, I say. LOL Who cares if you managed to buy them at £49.99 when there are people who willingly pay double the price because they are unable to or do not have the time to queue up for more than 14 hours?

While this new line of Jimmy Choo shoes sold out within hours, leaving many disappointed, hence the inflated prices on eBay (I am sure some of these buyers were those who queued up for hours in the rain and gale-force storm and yet went home empty handed because styles in their size ran out), a spokesperson of H&M said that they are restocking and those "sold out" styles will be available tomorrow.

Ahhhh wouldn't those who bought on eBay feel ripped off?
