Wii from Ebay

totter0817 · 12-02-2008, 01:41 PM

So excited!! I just bought the boyfriend his Christmas gift off ebay.
I've been scoping out Wii's on ebay for awhile, usually they go for about 350 on ebay.
I started watching one yesterday, that really wasnt being bid on. It ended in about 3 hours. I ended up winning the Wii for 280, plus ebay gave me a coupon to use with paypal so I ended up getting the Wii for a total of 250 with shipping!
I know this is the price they go for in stores but I didnt have to stand in line, or search for one because they are just about all sold out up here. And I didnt have to pay taxes on it either, so if I would have bought it in a store I probably would have spent close to 300.

Im so excited, I dont know how this item managed to go unnoticed in the ebay world, I was bidding with somebody up to the last minute but I won.

Sometimes you luck out. Plain and simple. I have scored a few items that should have gone for much more. I am a china (as in dishes buff.....Aynsley Grotto Rose 185 is just one pattern I like). Got a $50 unit for about $12. Once in a while people aren't paying attention.

Congrats on the find.

I have been trying to get the wii fit for my moms x-mas present off of e-bay everyone is paying rediculous prices for them. I wont pay over 89 which is retail and they have all been going for 150-170. I will get one no matter how much sleep i miss.

I was trying to get a wii fit the other day during the dollar deal thing on ebay. It drove me nuts, I kept seeing it but couldn't buy it in time! I'm jealous, I want one!!!

the wife bought me one for our anniversary then i tore my rotater cuff so no wii for me, anyway we got it at normal msrp at circuit city, she just ordered it online and selected in-store pickup, even though they were out of stock it just told her the day they would be in and it was held at the counter for her

The Wii Fit it hard to find in this neck of the woods too. Looks like the Wii is going to take it again this Christmas!!!! Nintendo must be happy.
