I dont know

Personally I would be sceptical about someone with very little feedback, selling a boat load of Wii's that shops cant even get

the price seems low given there is a shortage for these things. He does have low feedback, you'd be taking a bit of a punt with that one.

If you pay by Paypal, fund the payment entirely with your credit card. Then you can do a chargeback through that, rather than relying on Paypal

Last I heard was about 220 from the shops, although our sales manager managed to get 2 from Trafford Centre for the normal standard price last week

Just buy them from Amazon Germany if you really want one - get a UK plug converter and you'll be sorted

look at the amount he has sold ,someone bought 13 of him .
in my opinion these are going way to cheap for them to be legit i know they are still more than the shops but its ebay for gods sake everyone is benefiting from the wii shortage i thought about sticking mine on ebay and making a nice profit some are going for close to 300 notes and by christmas i bet they shoot up even more .then buy another one next year for £179 or £169 at wilkinsons
