Now this Slashdot thread is classic!

This thread title: Henrico County iBook Sale Creates iRiot

Blurb: What do you get when you combine 1000 used iBooks being sold for $50 and 1000 people desperately wanting to buy them? You get an iStampede of course! Add into the mix one guy who watches too much wrestling and one gal who re-lived her first Backstreet Boys concert by wetting herself and you’ll being looking for video of the whole thing.

But seriously, 1000 used iBooks being sold for $50? I don’t think the amount raised will cover the cost of the entire event, let alone the fracas. And what about the planning of this event? I have seen, and been a part of, plenty of events like this that have gone smoothly. What a shame!
