Only 6 People Intended to Buy 'I Am Rich'

NYTimes provides some followup details on Armin Heinrich's I Am Rich application that sold for $999.99 and simply displayed a red gem on the iPhone's screen.

An earlier report from the developer had indicated that 8 people had bought the app.

NYTimes reports that Heinrich has been notified by Apple that two of the eight sales had been reversed since they had been purchased by mistake. That still brings the developer's net revenue at near $4200. Apple pulled the app shortly after its posting for unclear reasons.

So that means 6 individuals purchased the app because they wanted it.

Imagine that.

Apple should have left it up on the app store. Oh well.

I think the two people DUMB enough to 'accidentally' click "Buy now" shouldn't have got their money back.

They will sue him for misleading advertisement.
He claimed: If you buy this application, everyone thinks you are filthy rich. But what actually happens: If you buy this application, everyone thinks you are bloody stupid :confused:

I'd say anyone who clicked on "Buy now" by accident is ten times smarter than anyone who bought this intentionally.

This should be no surprise, people buy all sorts of entirely useless items just to show that they have the money to be able to do it. Personalised number plates would be one example...

OK.

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, I can see.

I can't think who the four other customers would be though.
