david.dakota Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hello chaps and chapesses. Being eager to grab a Wii on day of release, i've overbooked on my pre-orders and have one spare. Before I put this up for auction on ebay, i thought i'd offer it to those unlucky souls here on N-E who have not successfully pre-ordered their Wii. Here we go, check out ebay at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160062033073&rd=1&rd=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 This is why pre-orders sell out, retailers aren't organised enough to tell people if they have a unit or not. So they file multiple pre-orders and only pick one up. It's the retailers fault for being unorganised, and Nintendo's fault for not keeping communication between factory and retailer. Generally this is why launches are so fucked up. There is no point telling us because some rich ass lazy parent is gonna buy it off you for £300. FOR SHAME!!

Tellyn Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 The price looked a bargain, then I saw the postage......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I'll laugh if it sells for a loss, because the postage and packing on a console with insurance is going to be at least £20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I doubt it, if you look on ebay they're going for £250 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 I'm not expecting to sell it for a loss, obviously. But if i did, i'd happily take a strike on ebay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaxxx Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Nice to see you have a real sense of the community here. If you cant do a regular here a favour by passing on a preorder then take yourself and your money grabbing mitts off to EBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 What happened David? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 He tried to be a big shot eBay master and he got shot down because he is a n00b. 15 positive feedback, oh yeah people are really gonna trust that with £250. That is what he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 It didn't go out with no bids, he ended it early. I'm sure he would have got bids in the last 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheets Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I sold one for Gameplay £450 but chucked in a Wii component cable, wii nunchuk and wii classic, I couldnt pass the chance to make £140, which I did, I can now buy one now for cost price for £40. I dont know if to keep my other GAME order or sell it :S I could buy a 2nd hand one in 3 months time when the novelty has wore. Yes I am scum, evil, wanker for buying 2, heard it all before last year with the Xbox 360, Early bird gets the worm, pre-ordered each at 5pm on 26th september Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.dakota Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 I've updated the link, since I was offered a deal and too the Wii off ebay. Mistake, the buyer pulled out. So, I've lost 15p... I've put it back on Ebay now, with a couple of days to go. Nintendork is obviously against this whole idea, but i'm certainly not the only one selling a spare on ebay. As long as I break even, i'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
