Default Ebay - Wii for sale???

I really can't believe people are paying £370+20P&P for a Nintendo Wii on ebay.

....I'll have one at Lunch time if anyone is interested.

I'll let you know if I get it

Until a few mins ago I wasn't even bothered, but if I can make £100 that easy then I'm up for it, I might even take someone with me so they can buy one too.

Why? People were paying £600+ for X-Box 360's last Christmas.

Spoilt little brats demanding the latest toy/gadget for christmas mean parents are just paying stupid amounts of money just to please their little *****.

They then spend the rest of the year paying for it all

Convenience is a big factor. Instead of ringing round or trawling the shops,look on ebay. You just know it'll be there.

I wonder if there'll be a huge inflation in the price of Wii's just before Christmas as people become more desperate to get one. Worth trying to sell one for a couple of grand I reckon

Not quite as bad as the $10k+ people were paying on ebay for the PS3 on launch day. Was almost tempted to get a flight over (using miles so no cost) to grab a couple then sell them over here.

p.s
If there is blatant advertising going on, I have 6 Kylie Tickets for her new Years Eve show for sale

It's incredible that people are so greedy and impatient! As with the 360 and the PS3, the crazy eBay prices only last a few days, then settle out to a small profit over retail. Plus, the choice of game is so limited at launch.

There were twenty saddo's camped outside my local electronics store for TEN DAYS before launch of PS3 and six of them were still there a week later waiting for a restock! Just for a few hundred quid, or to play a game before some other geek plays it! I'll be waiting a few months before I buy a PS3 as I can, belive it or not, live without it!
