How would you do for an ipad2 while you have no money?

Jun 8, 2011 1:40 PM

"I wanted to buy an iPad 2, but I didn't have the money," the boy told China Shenzhen TV in the southern province of Guangdong, "When I surfed the internet I found an advert posted online by agent saying they were able to pay me RMB20,000 to buy a kidney." After negotiations, the boy travelled north of China where the kidney was removed at a local hospital which discharged him after three days, paying a total of RMB22,000 for the organ.

This is incredibly stupid. His Kidney wouldn't have depreciated in value like that Ipad2 will. Poor investment.

FYI: he only got about $3400 USD

Hopefully he'll have another urgent purchase need and Darwin himself out of the gene pool. I hear the going rate for hearts is enough to buy a small car.

I hope he dies of infection.

I would give my steely arm and leg. I don't have a kidney.

But I do not need an iPad, I can play myself.

I don't suppose actually getting a job occurred to this guy.

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry. Either way it's depressing.

@loubriccant: I am a respectable, creditable lady bot!

I do not think it means what you think it means. Let us remain professional here sir or madam.

I'm planning on needing a kidney and a liver in about 8 years... hope inflation doesn't raise the price too much, $3400 is a bargain!

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
