Wii e-bay bubble burst...

[A210AMG]

It seems that Wii's have just arrived certainly in my part of the world.

Also looks like many e-bay people may be left with a fair bit of stock

Just watched a few go from £160 to £175


I'm going to wait until the new year and buy one me thinks from a shop.


:bannana:

There's someone advertising in a local shop window for £325 where I live, card went up yesterday. Think they might have a long wait.

I got mine for £170 from Woolies back in the summer:bannana:

Our local argos had loads of Wii's today. £170. Beats me why people would spend £300 + from a stranger.

imagine just for a moment if there were a well publicised shortage of these consoles in the run up to Christmas.

How many people would go down to their local electrical/computer shop and when they were told there was no stock and no more deliveries until after Christmas would buy another equally expensive item or "next best" thing for their child's present?

Now just imagine there was no real shortage just big piles of them in the corner of warehouses somewhere which joe public didn't (or wasn't meant to) know about

2 or 3 days before Christmas, when a lot of people have finished shopping how fortuitous would it be for the shops if there was a "delivery" of new stock?

Conspiracy?

If you know someone who works for the Dixons group logisitics see if you can get a straight answer out of them

apparently the DS will be back in stock at PC World/Currys etc sometime tomorrow

more like Nintendo have instructed retailers to hold back stock

This has been rumoured for a long time now - hence the talks of a possible shortage back in September

Any idea how the new model is different?

thanks
