So do you just not know how to look at how other people priced their Wii's on eBay or are you lazy?

I priced it @ $150 with free shipping... is that no reasonable enough? >_>

Did you really not search for Wii's on eBay before putting it up for auction and are you really just blindly picked a price?

There are these little things called research and forethought.  I know I'm sounding snide here and I actually don't mean to but perhaps you should have looked at what other Wii's sold for before you put yours up for sell at various places.

I bought a wii early during launch phase through ebay, thought it'd be an awesome console... Now about 2 years since I had it, I barely used it and the only game I owned and had somewhat of interest are Supersmash Brothers Brawl and Tales of Symphonia Radiant of Dawn :/

Being a "hot console" I thought I'd easily sell it, but I have listed on Ebay and Craigslist in NYC for weeks for $150 for the whole console with all the original parts and the two games (/w manual and box like new...), nobody even seem remotely interested >_>

Anyone know a place they can direct me so I can get rid of this console that I no longer use? ;/

Tales of Symphonia Radiant of Dawn? XDD 

He's a phony! A phony I tell ya!

Sorry... the game I was talking about is this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tos2

I didn't remember the game correctly... I should of looked at the box before writing... I apologize again.

I just have to ask.: Did you originally buy it with the intent to sell it? If you say no, then I think you would like it more if you had more than two games for it, especially if you can't even remember the name of half your library.

The Wii isn't for everyone, but man, I know you can find more than 2 enjoyable titles in the midst of 1,100.

Dude your thread looks more like an ''I want to complain about Wii thread'' than a real question...

Also lol at Tales of Symphonia Radiant of Dawn. This game doesnt even exist.

I am asking a real question, because I do really want to get rid of wii before it's "too late..."

Then you're already too late, you should have sold it when the Wii was permanently supply constrained not so long ago (like a year ago or so). Plus the black Wii is around the corner so don't expect to sell it for a too expensive amount.

Btw maybe you should take a look at this before creating a thread like this one:

dude, Didn't you read the manual?

Soccer moms don't buy console on eBay or Craiglist.

I kid, I kid, hope you sell your console soon.

I bought it with the intention to play it, but they never grabbed me. I mainly play jRPG, and I thought the Wii would of been great. And I was wrong... Although the PS3's library is smaller, the fact it's region free allows me to play games that aren't released in the U.S. Being an ass the Wii is with region lock, I can't pick up some Japanese only RPGs that I wanted to play :/

I don't intend to bash the wii, but it obviously isn't a console for me and I rather sell it to someone who will use it more than once a year. :/

He's not in Canada, he's in the US where the average price of ones that actually have bids on them are a bit different.

So yeah, search for used Wii's on eBay and look at the ones that actually have bids on them.  The two games aren't going to affect your price that much so don't worry about comparing that (though you should still include that you're selling games with it in the auction).

Ok so you're telling us that you're a big jRPG fan and that you're selling your Wii just before the release of 2 of the greatest JRPG of the gen (i.e. DQX and The Last Story). Doesnt make any sense to me.



rutea7 on 15 April 2010

and you're selling it NOW???? why dont u just keep it and wait for xenoblade and the last story???

"gee i play jrpgs and i want to sell my wii since they finally announced two worthwhile titles for it"

doesnt make sense to me

 

EDIT: ah atma got there before me

Hmm...

Which JRPGs interested you this gen? The line of what a JRPG is has been blurred; people could mean Final Fantasy 13 or Fire Emblem.

I also apologize for the Wii's lack of JRPGs and general Japanese support as of late. I would only wish that Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Arc Rise Fantasia came sooner for you, and were actually interesting.

 

I couldn't help it.........

Arc Rise Fantasia is coming more immediately, too. Now is the wrong time to sell.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
