Slaggis Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 has anyone bought one from ebay yet? was it a good deal or a complete rip-off. can anyone recommend one thats going for cheap on there now?
motion Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Why not have a look yourself? If you think it's cheap, buy it, if not, don't.
ShadowV7 Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Why not have a look yourself? If you think it's cheap, buy it, if not, don't. Ah true words.
Slaggis Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 lol i was bored...but was wondering if anyone had bought one and had a bad experience?
T-Bird Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Bought a USA one from eBay for around £200.00. Bargain. Works perfectly fine and been playing loads of Zelda and Wii Sports.
Slaggis Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 thats not a bad price...but what about buyinggamesfrom UK...or dont u mind importing em?
dabookerman Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 I sold two for £300 and £320 respectively.
That Guy Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 I bought one for £350. Card expired so turns out I sent an echeque and the fecker doesn't go through until the 19th. Annoying and I paid extra for no reason. Although I can afford it (no real living expenses) so I don't really care about the money, just wanted a console before christmas, which I got. I'd say, if you can afford to lose a lot for the console the get it.
BeerMonkey Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 would rather wait for stock in stores/sites then pay over the top prices. Thats wat the ebayers want you to do...they buy it...then you buy it off them for more it makes you look silly really
Slaggis Posted December 15, 2006 Author Posted December 15, 2006 it might be a bit silly...but if people are desperate fro it then i think its ok. though i ma only sayin that cos i am at the mo sellin my extra one on ebay...lol!

Thats wat the ebayers want you to do...they buy it...then you buy it off them for more it makes you look silly really Thanks for that. Thing's are only going for high prices because lots of people are willing to pay that much. You could argue you're paying a lot for last gen hardware in the first place. And yes, I am desperate for one, and since I have quite a lot of money to spend on myself I will spend it on what I really wanted a week ago. I think it's just other people value money a lot more than I do. I just need enough to get by and then I'll spend it on whatever I want at the time. Basically, I really want a Wii and ebay was my only guarunteed place.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 I sold two for £300 and £320 respectively. Whoa, you must've made quite a profit there. How much did you buy these 2 systems for in the first place?
david.dakota Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 For anyone interested, here's a link to my ebay auction. It finished Sunday 17 December, in the evening. Check it out if you want or need a Wii for Christmas. I'll guarentee despatch by Next Day Delivery, so if payment is swift, you'll get your on Tuesday. You'll get a receipt (paid by cash) just in case you need it. Remember, Wii is extremely limited. This will be a Good Experience for all! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160062033073&rd=1&rd=1
Slaggis Posted December 18, 2006 Author Posted December 18, 2006 tut tut tut...shameful ploy!!! lol (i was planning on doing that to!! mine ended on firday night fro £300.750 woo!
dabookerman Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Whoa, you must've made quite a profit there. How much did you buy these 2 systems for in the first place? One for £180 The other i got for free.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 How did you get the free one? Did you win it in a competition or something?
dabookerman Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 How did you get the free one? Did you win it in a competition or something? It was sent accidentally.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 It was sent accidentally. I see. So, you got sent somebody else's Wii, and then sold it on ebay?
dabookerman Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I see. So, you got sent somebody else's Wii, and then sold it on ebay? Pretty much.
Nintendork Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Sorry kid, I got outbid. For everything else, there's Mastercard.
Problematique Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I wouldn't pay more than RRP for it tbh. I've got just enough patience to hold up :p £500 is just silly.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Pretty much. And you're totally fine with that? No remorse, no guilt, nothing?
dabookerman Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 And you're totally fine with that? No remorse, no guilt, nothing? Nope, as they say, that's life.
