DOOMED!

That's awesome. Hopefully experiences like this will cut out the number of parasites in the future.



a lot of children will benefit from this, now dad can bring them a WiiU not an OUYA(or whatever it writes ) lol.

Wasn't there someone on here that bought 5 Wii U's to sell on Ebay? Or at least was planning to. Risky business.



Haha. Good. People should buy them from stores with a decent, less hassled return policy.

Looks like some of those people who bought several to make a profit need money now...

Glancing at Amazon (US) I don't see any sellers selling deluxe models for less than about $400 (when you include shipping). Definitely not big profits though, that's for sure.

And I don't feel the least bit sorry for the eBay scalpers. Admittedly, I bought one extra to try and sell if I could, just to help pay for mine, but I had a backup plan. Since a friend of mine is buying one for his family for Christmas, I'm assured to get my $370 (including tax) back.



Well considering USA eBay's quality of customer service (can't even message them once your claim is elevated to management) went out the door and they favour sellers over buyers in disputes, no one in their right mind would buy tech of eBay. Get tui from manufacturer or retailer.



 

 

Well, this definitely proves there is plenty of supply for whatever demand the Wii U may have.  So, if sales are low in the American numbers, Nintendo fans can't claim supply issues.

Some very sad auction results that I recently saw:

Wii U Deluxe - Retail $350 - Sale ended at $335, however, the reserve was not met.

Wii U Deluxe w/ SMBU & Sonic Racing - Retail $450 -  Sale ended at $417, a $33 loss.

Wii U Deluxe - Retail $350 - Seller was only asking for retail price, but received no bids.



Thank god that greedy idiots get what they deserve haha Hoping to sell the system for over 9000 dollars and now actually losing money :)



Nintendo doomed resellers



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
