If you're selling them at cost, sure why not. If you're pricegouging, then DIAF.

People want to buy them, but I don't think they want them so badly that you'll make a huge profit.

Much of the appeal of the wii is how cheap it is.

Why do people have such problems with the words "sale" and "sell"? They don't even sound the same.

It was selling for several times the retail price initially (like the PS3 and Xbox 360), but all the suckers who were willing to pay that have already bought one. Now they're selling for maybe $50 over retail. Figuring fees and effort, it's not worth it.

Why do assholes waste their time on a forum giving a crap about such nonsense?

He's right though. How the hell did you get sell mixed up with sale?

I mean spell them with their other meanings ... cell and sail. They sound nothing alike.

It's not nonsense if you ever want to write to someone and not have them think you're a retard.

Because "sale" is a noun, "sell" is a verb.

OMG I sound retard.

I sold two on eBay on Feb 18. I paid $249 with no tax for them on Amazon. They sold for $350 and $315 respectively ($0.99 starting price) + $29.95 shipping each.

Kevin, I could use one for myself. I would pay a bit for your trouble.
We recently borrowed the neighbor's for a small party and had a blast.

Not much. My shipping charge more than covered eBay/PayPal fees (only cost me about $9-$10 to ship them with insurance)
