Wait for christmas and sell it 3 times over the original pricetag dude...

This is wrong.

Even last christmas it didn't sell for much on ebay (about 300 including S&H).  Don't wait, get the money now.

EDIT- just checked ebay, it's selling below market value at the moment. you will get around 230- S&H, paypal fees, ebay fees.  I'd guess 100-210 USD.

I know you don't care for the Wii but it doesn't entitle you to your own reality. Screen capture of current sales on Ebay taken 7 minutes ago.

 

I don't see any going under market value. Looks like $300 is a lot closer to the truth and getting plenty of bids at that price. And by the way, they were getting a good bit more a Christmas as well.

You may be confusing the Wii with the Xbox 360 20GB which are going for around $150 or the PS3 40GB which are coming in at about $260.

Ebay.com for anyone that wants to check for themselves.

 

This post is full of fail.

1. I don't hate the Wii

2. If you're trying to prove a point, don't post something that makes mine. Those wii's you posted are w/ wii play.

3. Wii's are selling for 220-230

4. they won't hit 300 a xmas this year, they barely did last year.

5. have a nice day

I don't mind admitting when I make a mistake, for in  my life I have made my full quota. And I did this time for which I apologize. The listings with 14 games DO include Wii Play. 

If I wrongly assumed that you disliked the Wii I will apologize for that as well, but I believe your signature used to say "miserable Wii owner" or the like and I took that to be somewhere South of a hearty endorsement.

That said, it still is quite possible with a bit of luck to make $300 on a plain Wii, although I cannot imagine why since they are fairly readily available retail. There is, for example a Wii with nothing extra that closed just a few minutes ago (Mar 01, 200905:00:00 PM PST) with 24 bids at $305 . And it wasn't even a new system but was described as  "opened box, return, closeout or shelf pull item. Looks brand new. Tested for basic operation"

No it makes no sense to me, but then, EBay never did.

I understand where your coming from.  I wasn't happy with my wii for a long time, not because of the system itself, but the lack of games that interested me. And yes my sig did say that, but I changed it when I started playing some GC games.  I've been enjoying it alot more lately.  Still hate its graphics though. :P
