It's people like you that cause all of the shortages. I luckily managed to find a wii, 4 remotes and 4 nunchucks but there are a lot of people who have not, and because you want to make a profit, you are depriving other people from playing. Don't pretend like you are trying to help the people here, you are just making it harder

every time i go to a store and ask if they have any wiis they say NO. so i ask "okay when are you getting shipments" . and they just say ... i dont know. so far i've gone into Walmart, Kmart, EB Games, and local store. i've also called Target, Best Buy, and Circuit City. No one will tell me when they are getting any. Do you think that when you call them, they just dont want to tell you when they get them? and that i should make my dad drive me to all the other stores and look?

Gibson:

The stores don't know when they are getting any. The question you should ask is "Has UPS/FedEx delivered today?" or "What time does UPS delivery usually come to your store?".

You see, Wiis are mostly coming to the stores via third-party delivery such as UPS. You pretty much have to figure out when they get deliveries, and then start showing up about 15 minutes after that every day...

That or get an itrackr.com account, sit back and wait!

Read the last few pages of this thread. The east coast is a barren wasteland of wii-less-ness. The west coast got all the love this weekend & today.

Stay patient...

Actually im not trying to make a profit. I would give them to people for the price I got them but other make me a higher offer so it goes to them. Ask before you speak. I know how hard it is to get some things so I get them for others but some people will just want to give me more so it goes to them.

Both, some stores put them out but most places you have to ask to get one of they have them.

Ugh, the east coast is dead. Been trying retailers small and large for about a month now, and to no avail. 3% nation availabilty FTL. The worst part is, most retailers won't even tell you if they have them any more.

Looks like it's time for some shanking. It won't get me a Wii, but I'll feel better. Congrats on all of you that did find them though.

There's no reason you should have that many in the first place, the purchase was obviously profit motivated. If you were willing to sell them at cost, there was no reason to buy them in the first place. Don't try to act like a good person

not all of us are okay with being shafted just to play a wii. doesnt mean we dont want it just means we wont give in to the disgusting amount of gouging going on... and from the looks of it your one of those assholes... go play your wii and lay in your piles of stolen cash from families that just wanted to get their kid what they wanted for christmas or their birthday
