But more that I think about it...it's a stupid example...just order it on line and wait for it to arrive and for a just released iPhone if you don't want to stay up and order it before it stocks out then you're just plain lazy and don't really want it fast.

Turns out Apple already provides options and they don't cost $40 extra. TaskRabbit and $40 extra are for the terminally lazy. |
I think you are taking this way too literally....
The point is the person doesn't want to stand in line, and is willing to pay a premium to be an early adopter without having to stand in line to make it happen.
Whether that be paying someone to stand in line or paying a premium on the resale market is irrelevant to the point being made.
