usually when someone gets something and posts it on a forum asking to be made an offer for it with the title like NINTENDO WII IN STOCK, they are looking to profit. not that I am indicting such behavior, that's his business, I'm just saying that isn't the same as buying something and changing your mind on it. my argument is against your position, which simply doesn't appear to be relevant defense when you take into account the language used, not the offer for the Wii itself. |

I had one......for 2 weeks. It was stupid IMO....so i sold it to my buddy as a gift to his GF who wanted one really bad but couldnt find it at the time. Sold it to him at cost....he gave me an extra $25 tho.....cause i stood inline for ever in the freaking cold to get it...........what a waste of time.

I heard that Wii's are gonna more readily available during the summer. That, or the guys in my town are gonna have a bunch sitting at their houses. Every time Walmart gets a shipment its the same guys waiting in line to buy them. I didn't think Wii's had the same failure rate as a 360. Each system has great games, though.

I'm just sick of eGreed...
If you don't want one...don't buy it. If everyone did this there would be plenty for everyone who really wanted one. Thanks to places like eBay and others...nothing is safe now. For guys like me who want something but refuse to pay more for retail...it just means having to wait longer until all the greedy a-holes get their $$ and drop it. And yes I've heard the "That's free commerce/capitalism" horse-crap...great, all of this "capitalism" is making this a shitty country to live in...hooray. |

if you check out ebay, the aftermarket value on Wii's is about $20 higher than retail -- not enough to warrant the time it would take to continuously hunt them down and sell them, which only reaffirms my opinion that any sort of scalping is as much about control (in the sense that people have to get it from them, thus the scalpers create a self inflated sense of importance) as it is about money.
Though I never try to make mini-profits by buying out a store's stock of "rare" toys if I find them, I am personally pretty bad about finding stuff on sale, or buying stuff in lots, and trying to make small profits by selling things for regular prices or individually (respectively) to fund my toy addiction. . .but really, the minor amount of money I make doesn't justify the act. I have better things to do. But alas, I keep doing it. . .I get no sense of gratification from this. It is simply irrational. |

I've played Wii once at a buddy's house, I don't remember the name of the game we played. it's a bunch of mini games that are Funny and made us laugh so hard you'd think we were high
as for a wii I wouldn't get one. I like the DS better. |
