I see more from Gamestop. And that is an extremely small sample size.
I'm guessing Sears stocked up on Wii's and since everyone hounded the Walmarts, Gamestops, and Toys'r'us', they had a bunch, and now they're releasing them little by little, though I don't know why considering they are at standard price and there's no need to simulate a shortage.

I managed to find some at a small gaming store in a nearby town. That is pretty much it for northeast Iowa.

Get this. So I had a wii that I got at launch but sold it around Christmas. I decided I want another one a week ago so I went everywhere and couldn't find one. So I decided to go on ebay and just set the parameter to search for auctions within 100 miles of my zip code. I found one within 30 miles and called them and asked if I bought it out if I could just pick it up.
So I bought it out for $315 + $30 shipping + $21~ in tax because the auction was in state.
Well when I got there they told me how they just opened the store 2 months prior and they really like local business and how they prefer people use store credit to money because they really like it when people come back. So they told me they would make me a deal and just sell me the wii for $290 since that is how much they were selling them in the store when they got a hold of one. So basically they saved me like $50-$60. And on top of they they told me they would give me half off any older wii game or $20 off any brand new game since I just bought a wii their.
The store was called Triple Play and it's a video game store/sports memorabilia store and it is ran by these awesome guys.
Moral of this story; I like talking about myself.
