So I'm guessing it didn't work out after all?

I went back to the store today and guess what, they are reopening and they will still be using the same old classic posters!

I just checked eBay for prices of Apple related posters and holy bejesus! They seem to be worth quite a lot. I've got my eye on a Buzz Aldrin Think Different poster. Very cool.

turb the posters on ebay are the regular 70x100, the ones that are in the apple store pictures are the largerer display models and its not made from paper, these fetch like $250 i believe if not more..

I still have my Buzz Aldrin poster on the wall, and a Lucile Ball in a poster tube in the closet. Maybe I should look into selling at least the Lucile Ball.

ok what happened is this. the apple store in the pictures above got cleaned out. turned out the whole building is getting demolished. now you would think because they dont need the posters any more they would give them to me, but they refused to.
now a week ago i was sitting having coffee with an owner of another apple store. we have two apple dealers in kuwait and this was the other one. he wants to setup a Kuwait mac user group and wanted my help. we were talking about apple pre-ipod when i brought up the subject of these posters. he told me he might have some left and would call me back. yesterday he called me and told me to pass by their store and pick up the posters. they are really dusty but in excellent condition. can't believe how nice the guy was. i cant wait to hang them up on the wall now portable: MacBook 2.4Ghz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HD | personal: PowerMac G5 dual 2.3ghz, 6GB RAM, 6TB HD | work: MacBook Pro 2.5ghz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HD | car: Alpine iDA-W407 with black iPod 80GB | pocket: iPhone 3GS with Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro's |

Interesting story!
Can't work out if the building is still being demolished or the apple store is re-opening? |
