The difficulty of selling a Wii

So I recently posted a Wii on my local Craigslist, but so far all I've gotten was one reply saying "You can find them in the stores for $250" (I'm selling for $330)

Yes, I understand people don't wanna pay above retail, but I can't help but wonder if I would've had this problem if the Wii was still selling as quickly.

Recently I've noticed in my area that stores are getting larger shipments (at least Gamestops are) and are selling out less quickly, and I wonder if that's a nationwide trend, or just certain regions getting a larger supply.

I suppose what I'm asking is if anyone is/was in a similar situation trying to sell a Wii or if you noticed the same things I have, or the opposite.

That's what you get for being a dick and trying to make a profit off people trying to get something for their kids. Try selling your Wii for $250 + shipping and I guarantee you it will sell almost instantly.

meh. i made a resonable amount last christmas doing the same thing with a wii. though in retrospect perhaps keeping it would have been the right decision, as the first generation is the easiest to mod and is still the best Wii model for this from my understanding. Nonetheless, some kids in Alberta had a very merry christmas, even if their dad paid over retail.

Most corporations that we support essentially do their best to nickel and dime you to death. What are these resellers doing that makes them "dicks" compared with most corporations?
