Profit?


I say sell both and then take that money and continue buying more until they are no longer in demand. You can always wait to play, and you can buy more games with the money you make if you think you can be sucessful judging off of the first sell.

I hate to say it, but that's what I would do (even though I'd be really tempted to keep one).

The more you guys post about it, the more I am thinking about doing it. Just called my local target and they still have 14 in stock.

I just searched eBay for completed auctions for brand new Wii's with receipt, selling for around $350 - $400 + s/h.

Well, off to a forum where I can list it forsale. :)
You're already here. Welcome :D.
Nope, looks like the mods are still prohibiting the sale of PS3 and Wii. :(
Ahhh, you made it sound like you were going to sell it for what you paid to help someone out, which I thought was ok.
I am, but you can't even do that per the sticky in FS/FT. :(

i'm sure a fellow atoter wouldn't mind sending you a pm and working something out.

Yes. Just went back down there and they had 10 left. They would only let me buy one more. :(

Tried that. They would not sell me any additional ones. I asked to see the policy and they provided nothing. I made a pretty big stink about it and was asked to leave the store.

Of course I did. Left the store and re-entered. I got kicked out for trying to buy another one.

Just bring in your co-workers some coffee and some doughnuts and tell them they can have them, but first they have to make a little trip. That's what I used to do, and we'd have a great time doing it with the managers watching and not being able to do anything.
