From the article: “The store is currently closed for renovations. Williams doesn’t have a date for when it will reopen, but says when it does, that’s when the new policy will take place.”
Interesting timing for being closed and with no reopening date. Sounds out of business to me. Perhaps all the fines he owes has clipped his financial wings. (http://www.unionleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20161007%2FNEWS02%2F161009471)
He seems to be generally unstable mentally or TUI, https://www.facebook.com/UsedAppleStore/
He’s delusional. This what he posted on his Facebook page, paragraphing is his:
Ok, a bunch of honesty here and heart pouring out. I know that this page has been the craziest for anyone who's been following it the past few days. I'm going to try talking in first person here. It's not easy being so gifted that I change the world easily by things I create. And as humble as I am, people around me tell me how good I am and I know that completely myself. I've always wanted shortcuts to get to the amazing places I see the world going, places that I would be taking it. I went through a tough time in 2001, read the "Biggest Scam" article I posted a couple days ago below. It's long but a good read....the craziest and wildest ride I think any human can have, especially in just a few years. I got bored of that project and that's why I started The Used Apple Store. I saw it as growing to 100 stores in 2 years, but it never went past 2 or 3 stores. Innovations and not being able to find others who could juggle the hardware and software as well as I made opening other locations difficult. The past year I've been back at it in VR. I was on a phone meeting with Apple back around Feb 8th this year. I was trying to convince them to take on VR, they weren't interested. But they said I was working on bigger things than Apple was. I tried convincing them to support me and supply with the tools to make our projects demo on Apple devices and to get VR into the Apple stores. They wouldn't. So now we have to part with Apple, at least for the time being. We never see Apple being the biggest thing, it's going to be VR and Apple isn't in the picture and doesn't want to be. It's saddening for me but the excitement over VR makes up for it. So we have put The Used Apple Store in limbo, not knowing which direction to go with it. It was a sacrifice, so as we still sit here waiting for renovations we are more leaning to not continuing with the store. Apple isn't where it's at anymore. Apple stocks will tank, and quickly. Today I was in talks with Apple shareholders particularly someone (one person) who has some $200 million in shares of Apple, he wouldn't budge in his position to help with VR independent of Apple. And he's criticizing Cook and classified Apple as "They are too thick tight headed old men getting rich off Steve jobs life work Tim Cook hasn't done anything in over four years". Txt message unedited. He also said Market Speed key is putting Apple to decline at 12% tomorrow. I started this conversation predicting a drop of 10% tomorrow, knowing the extra info I'm putting it at a 20% drop in stock tomorrow for Apple. I'm pushing out some big emails tomorrow in hope of giving Apple another chance. Apple can still save themselves but I think they won't.
He seems totally ignorant that Apple is putting a lot of investment and development in AR, Augmented Reality. . . Apple’s version of VR.
