There are still lines outside the Washington Post waiting for copies of yesterday's
Section A. I work across the street, yesterday, the line went around the block with people waiting for a copy, it was sold out everywhere. They did another run of Section A and started charging $2 for just section A.

They did today's paper and went back and did a reprint of yesterday's Section A. There are still people in line waiting for it. Unbelievable.

No link, as this is from personal observation, not a link. Just thought DU might be interested.

1. I can confirm you are right
My husband told me the same thing. He managed to get a copy of the paper for me from one of his coworkers.

2. I heard on MSNBC that yesterday's NYTs are selling for $200/copy on Ebay.
Well, I have two copies of yesterday's NYTs. Still in the blue bags. Do I hear $201?

3. LOL. This isn't even on eBay, it is directly from the source.
The Washington Post offices. It is almost 4pm on Thursday now and there are still people in line. The post is making a mint on this. :hi:

4. Amazing!
I just checked E-Bay and yesterday's NYTs are now trading at about $50/copy.
