More supply, less people looking on ebay or wherever 2. A lot of people are going to try to make a buck this so if you are thinking about getting one to scalp know that thousands of others are.. More Wiis more scalpers Ebay gets flooded price fall flat... 3. We are getting close enough where people my not want to risk not recieving it in the mail, they might just say "If I am gonna get it late, I am going to do the raincheck and pay just retail, screw ebay" Don't get me wrong they will still be scarce, but you are not going to lose any money(if worse came to worse you could return it at no profit...) but that profit margin is going to dwindle. |
I don't think you grasp the concept of just how large the demand for a Wii is...
Yes they're flooding the market, but this is why you buy now, and sell on Dec 23 and include overnight shipping. Not many people are willing to wait in line at 6 AM in the mostly freezing cold that's covering most of the US right now.
Here are some more important facts to consider:
1. More supply, more resellers in line ready to buy. I'm sure the percentages will favor the regular consumer, but still, it takes away from the supply.
2. Demand is through the fucking roof. It's been said many times that nintendo could DOUBLE production and still sell out.
3. People in America are more than willing to pay a premium for convenience. Remember what I said about it being really really cold?
4. Never EVER underestimate the power of the Christmas season. Ebay resellers will definitely have a good one.
Just something to think about
