To all of you who hate resellers. Grow up.
The basic premise of capitalism is the one who works the hardest gets the biggest reward. This is no different. Many/most of these people get up earlier or just work harder at getting what they want. Then most of them put it on Ebay for less than or equal to the price they paid. Then its the bidders who push the price way above retail. I have said this many times, everyone has the same choices and same abilities to get a Wii.
1. Get your ass up early and wait in a line.
2. Call every damn store in town until you find out when stock is arriving (this is how I got mine in February)
3. Wait until it eventually comes in stock. (Your child will survive, honest)
4. Pay more than retail on ebay/craigslist.
Nobody is forcing anyone to pay $450 for a Wii on Ebay. It is an auction site. You have to choose and be willing to pay and extra $200. That means that you perceive the Wii as being worth $450, otherwise you wouldn't buy.
Again, that is capitalism. You have the choice in buying. Work hard or spend more. If I wasn't so lazy I would have already sold a few Wii's on Ebay.
