from my black friday outing i saw wiiU at 2/3 stores. i'd say stock is currently tight but wiiU is certainly attainable. i have a feeling those who pre-ordered to flip them on ebay are going to get screwed.

450 is a 140 dollar profit for me

On ebay it appears about 4,022 were sold while 4,097 went unsold so far, I am going to bet the majority of the ones on ebay will end up selling

the unsold ones also have a high reserve or buy now option. the ones selling are the ones that are for over 400 and under 500. I put mine up on craigslist for 450.

Which is why i gave my extra preorders to others. Nintendo did well front loading this time.

Which is your break-even price when you add sales tax ebay/paypal fees and shipping. Atleast you won't lose $$.

So, went to walmart to pick up food for the weekend and they're sold out of Wii U systems again ...

I'm really curious how many systems they shipped this week, I'm fairly certain they shipped more than 500,000 and I doubt they shipped more than 1,500,000 but nothing in between would be too shocking to me.
