"Why not have the consoles sent/imported? I can imagine customs taking a close look at a parcel with AMAZON stamped on it but a friendly Ebay seller could make it look like a simple pair of shoes from grandma. Is postage expensive in your country?"
You usually have to pay taxes anyway, the cost of a Wii will go down to $280 including postage and taxes. But not everybody knows how to do it, remember our mother tongue is Spanish and not everyone speak english, or has a credit card/pay pal account. Besides, you get a "legal" console, but the people almost always wants a "open" one (that can play pirated games), piracy runs rampant in my country.
