Just got back from the local Target and they had ~10 Wii's in stock so I decided to buy two. Figured I'd buy an extra to sell to someone who is unable to find them in their area. The woman and I plan on wasting most of today playing Wii Sports. ;)

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.

Buy two Wii's
?????
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.

You can sell it on craigslist for full price + a BJ. But I think your woman might have a problem with that. :D

Meh...I don't see the harm...even if you do sell it for much more than you bought it.

It's just money Nintendo would have gotten had they priced the Wii relative to demand...

But what if the low price is part of what is driving demand?

price drives quantity demanded, not demand.

you got lucky. my best buy kicked someone out of line for buying 2 and then gave them to the next two people in line. they stated at the beginning of the line you can only buy one.

I have given up on my quest for a Wii when some 70+ geezers got the last one in front of me this morning at CC.

I will stick to GC and DS.

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