Basically, everyone (outside of private reservations) was told to show up, have their cleared bank check ready for the unit(s)/floor(s), and, if their purchase was still available when they got to the desk, then it was theirs. So, this guy gets in, buys like 5-10 units (I can't remember but this story was in the 'Khaleej Times' in 05-06). He waits outside after completing his purchase while the first round of units sells out super-fast (it was within hours). As soon as this instance is announced, he doubles his money selling his newly purchased units to the leftovers. No shit.
