Nope, because I don't even have one :P
But I won't sell it anyway when I buy it.

I did the same thing (even near the same type of deal you gave the guy lol). I doubt you will regret it, since i did not. I bought a PSP and some games with my WII money and now my only regret is that my PSP screen is cracked (will be fixing it). So yeah, just spend the money well and you won't regret it.

I sold my wii last month. No regrets.
It had been gathering dust since i bought my ps3.
Once i did HD gaming on ps3, couldnt go back to the non-hd graphics of the wii.
bought an xbox recently as well, so i am all set.
never thought about it and i will probably never do. in fact i'm thinking about buying a second wii, to import and play all the cool japanese games who don't get released overseas.

No.
Selling any console its a bad policy, even if you don't play it.
You usually get a lot less money for it.
Maybe you don't want to play it now but you never know in 2 or 3 months.
You usually have a friend that its willing to borrow you its games and you can try them, but its harder to find someone willing to borrow you its console.
The only reasonable possibilities to sell your consoles are...
- You NEED the money NOW for something else.
- You have SO much money you don't care about wasting it buying the console again latter (in this case its still better to just keep it).
I don't quite agree with the whole "you should never sell an old console" motto that some people have around here; at the end of the day you got nearly $300 for it, sure not nearly as much as you paid for everything when you first got it but it's still a good chunk of money. No use letting it depreciate further in value if you don't use it; it's not like you've only had it for a few months, 3 years is more than enough time to decide whether or not you like a product.

If there was ever a time to sell your Wii, it was back when Nintendo was unable to keep up with demand and they actually drew a decent price.
Currently, selling one is not much better than holding a garage sale for unused games/hardware; it's a big losing proposition.
Of course, if you have no intention of ever using a console and you can use whatever money you can get for it; why not?
I would have sold mine back when they were still worth near retail if it hadn't been for the VC games I've bought that are linked to the console. But I still would have kept my games for when I bought another Wii when they were much cheaper had that happened.

I did like it at first, I enjoy playing some of the games and it brought back good memories from the day I used to play Mario on my N64 or even the day I got my Gameboy, but the thing is I could never really get into it and not understand how people were going nuts over it. I do agree with the part of being "innovative" and "different", although I have the feeling that many of the nearly 70 million Wii's are gathering dust as many of my friends have not used it in a long time. Anyhow, I feel I did the right thing.

yep, needed money, it was price high still at bad time and some friend wanted it for his little kid.
it was gathering dust, so it was good inversion, i may borrow one for zelda.
Nope and I doubt I ever will. I still have pretty much every console I have ever gotten. I do get rid of some of my games from time to time though. Some I give away others I sell. Only the ones I did not really like much already. I have cut back on how many systems I buy though. This Gen I only bought 2 while last gen I had 3 which is about how many I tend to buy. I would not mind a PSP for the JRPGS and a PS3 for a couple games, but I just seem better at just saying no to myself now. I still play most of my old consoles still. At the moment I have my SNES PS2 and Wii set up by my T.V. with my DS sitting on my computer desk. I am afraid if I sold most of them I would just rebuy later for a higher price. I also tend to miss some games during the years of the consoles. Like atm I have been playing my PS2 for Star Ocean and Dragon Quest 8.
