They accidentally sent my store 66 Wii's. It was a good weekend but it's over now. I am hoping to have more of those and the Metal Gear Solid PS3's soon. doubtful though.

 

Thats pretty cool, i hope more stores received large amounts of wii's, i know last weekend each TRU store had atleast 20 wii fits. Maybe this week will be big in NA.

@ZenfoldorVGI, i doubt he would make any profit selling the wii on ebay. The wii is being sold for $280 at most stores in Canada, and in Ontario there is 13% sales tax. So he buys the wii for $317, plus whatever it costs to list the thing on ebay, then he needs to pay for shipping since most people do free shipping with the wii on ebay. Plus his gas and time to do all this. He will make no money doing this and might lose money.

I also know last christmas people buying wii's in Canada were not making $100 profit off ebay. Since i know people that bought them off ebay.

I just did a fake post to see, Ebay told me that over the last few days the Wii console as is:

Items like yours that sold successfully have an average starting price of $89.00 and an average sold price of $358.00. You can also try searching completed listings.

 

Cost to list:

Insertion fee: $3.00
Buy It Now fee: $0.25
Gallery fee: Free
Total: $3.251

 

In other words, you can make anywhere from 70 to 100 dollars on Ebay, per Wii you want to put up on Ebay.

When supply is infinite, you won't be able to sell a Wii for over 250 bucks.

Also, during Xmas last year, they were going averagely for 700 dollars at one point. Some were selling for 1200 dollars.

 

So, to recap, I dont' think a lot of you guys realize that the Wii really is supply constrained and in very high demand, and is regularly selling thousands of units a day on Ebay for 100 dollars more than the retail price tag. This is an undisputable and provable fact, as I just proved it.

 

If you guys wanna know if the Wii is still supply constrained in the future, just email me and I'll tell you.

How am i going to make 70-100 dollars, when the average price is $358, it costs $317 for the final unit at the store, plus the $3 ebay cost, plus the free shipping that i will need to put on the unit, lets assume thats $20. So thats now only $18 for each wii i can sell, then i need to pay for my gas to drive to the stores and to the post office to mail the thing, along with all my time. So once its all said and done i will make $7.

 

 

A. Because the average price doesn't include the exhorbatant amount you can charge for shipping, which costs about 5 dollars for a Wii sized package, in reality.

B. Because the average prices is way below what the item usually goes for, just like ever item for ebay's average price is way lower than the usual selling price.

C. Where do you get 317 dollars from? That would be 21 percent sales tax....I think where I live I pay 7 percent.

D. You can't calculate gas prices, lol.

 

Look man, I'm telling you, if I saw a Wii, I'd buy it. I could make about 70 dollars. Your math just doesn't make any sense, lol....
