Ebay: Wii a Black Friday Winner

Ebay said over the weekend that the Nintendo Wii was the site's most-searched Black Friday product, selling 3,171 during the course of the day.

The average selling price for the hard to find console was $349 the day after Thanksgiving--a $100 premium over the MSRP.

Exer-game Wii Fit was also a hot item, selling 1,059 units on the site for an average price of $140, or $50 more than the MSRP.

Ebay said the PS3 sold for an average $355 and Rock Band bundles sold for $100 on average. No information was given related to Xbox 360.

Other top electronic items as reported by Ebay were the Garmin Nuvi GPS, Apple iPhone 3G, various iPod models and Blackberries.

We assume that people paid $400 for the PS3's they're selling on eBay so yes selling at $355 is a $45 lose.
