Finally cracked my friend!

[Marc]

Me and 2 friends work together and go for a work around the nearby shopping centre on a dinner time. We've been pestering our friend to get a Wii for months and he wasn't interested. He gets really annoyed and hated the nagging saying he wanted a 360. Few months of pestering later and he decided he wanted one last week, and everywhere had sold out! HMV got some in mid week and wanted £280 with 3 games, they sold out in the afternoon. His sister works in Gamestation and has promised to put one a side when they get them in next week.

We'll have to start pestering him to buy games now! :lol:

Part of the shortage is due to the people who work at the stores.

Every employee is permitted to put aside 2 items (wii's) for themselves to buy at the end of the day. One for themselves, and one for a family member.

Most people are doing this and then selling the Wii's on ebay for upwards of £500. I know, because alot of the people at work are doing it, and actually making more money than the actual job.

Some people are even getting part-time jobs at these places for the sole reason of ebaying wii's. :yesnod:
