I can agree with others who do find the reselling of new consoles well above the price that you paid for it (even including tax) to be annoying and frankly dishonest. Let those who actually want a Wii to use and have them buy it from the store. Those who want to be a reseller won't make that much of a profit because there are only so many that you can buy. What will you do if those Wii shortages stop and there is a glut of them and anyone can find a Wii just by walking into a store? Heck, I can walk into about a dozen stores in this metro area and find Wii's just sitting on the shelf. The end is coming soon for those trying to profit off of ebaying consoles for this generation.
If you really are looking to make capital there are many other ways that you can do it and I would be more then happy to understand and support that. You can go to small town auctions of some old person who got put into a home and they are selling all sorts of stuff they have. You can get things cheap and if you know the real value of something you can ebay it for a rather large profit, and it's all acceptable there because you did the work to find the items that will sell on ebay for a profit. I've done that in the past and found some hard to find items that others in the country want and would make a profit of over $1000 on a $20 item I bought at a small town auction. You can do the same by going to those garage sales, but pick neighborhoods that are either well off, or have a large number of older people living there. You can find antiques that they may think is junk. I found a old painting by a guy at a garage sale and they wanted $50 for it. They had no idea who the artist was, but I did and I sold that painting for $1800 (I did have it reframed and new mat, etc put on it, so I did spend a little bit more then $50 overall) . If you ask me, doing the work for that isn't easy and you have to have an eye and understanding of what has a value far larger then what they are asking for and they are happy because they think it's junk or worthless.
Doing stuff like that is perfectly honest to me, but going to a store to buy a new product and sell it for more then the MSRP just because there may be supply issues isn't very honest. If you really want to build capital, I wouldn't put all your eggs into the console basket. Sooner, rather then later, the bottom will fall out.
