Check ebay and type in Wii: they're selling for ~$350 with another $35 shipping right now. What the HELL?!

I feel like an idiot for selling three I had recently and only getting $310 with $20 shipping because I was afraid they'd become plentiful.

Is there any reason Wiis would have shot up in demand yet again?

That is strange i checked it last in about mid March and it at a little below $300 dollars i guess they are slowly going up. At least they are staying popular.

Just everyday fluctuation I suppose?

that Baby guy · « **Reply #3 on:** June 04, 2007, 08:55:50 AM »

I think their eBay value is related to the current stalk market prices in Animal Crossing.

Dammit, UP/ARO/nintendo_star, give it up already.

That's not him. UP/ARO/etc. never used an avatar, and this guy has a comcast email address, which would be harder to create extra from. He's also had his account for several days, it seems, as his postcount is .08 posts per day.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, then.

Carry on.

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 04, 2007, 09:01:20 AM »

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #9 on:** June 04, 2007, 09:02:04 AM »

Then again, maybe I'm not just paranoid...

the ebay prices shot up to take advantage of the peeps who failed to snag a wii this past Memorial Day sales weekend.

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 04, 2007, 09:28:37 AM »

that would make sense

that Baby guy · « **Reply #13 on:** June 04, 2007, 09:32:36 AM »

So that means people were expecting to get a Wii on Memorial Day, and held off from purchasing on eBay for then? How long would that have affected the price before-hand?

Actually, it may be a wise idea to stock up on Wiis now, and eBay them in late November, early December...

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 04, 2007, 10:10:17 AM »

yea then the prices will be really high just because the release date for brawl will probably be soon if they really want to get it out during 2007

Kenology · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2007, 01:57:14 PM »

^ Nice avatar! That was a great game - glad Monolith is one our side now!

Sorry for hijacking... carry on folks.

Patchkid15 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2007, 01:57:48 PM »

u just saying that

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #17 on:** June 04, 2007, 03:06:53 PM »

I was at Best Buy today, 8 PS3s...no Wiis.

Patchkid15, Smash_Brother is paranoid in thinking that you are here only to end up promoting some product after you gain our trust and friendship.

If you aren't, then Smash needs to read more Sherlock Holmes.

If you are, well, let's not dwell on that...

Smash could just take you to court. We'll have to assign you a defense attorney.

Um, on topic: I have a buddy who actually bought a Wii off of Ebay, for $350. He just had to have for Christmas. I told him he was crazy cause it wouldn't be long before they could be found in stores everywhere.

I was wrong and he's been happy with his Wii.

Have you had your Ninja fix today?
What? NO!?!?!
Then buy Konami's Legend of the Mystical Ninja for the Wii VC games console to suit ALL your Ninja needs!
It certainly got MY yin and yang in order!!!

Khushrenada · « **Reply #20 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:21:52 PM »

Oh Konami, yeah, they are reaaaaaaal great. Hey, thanks for all the Gamecube support. Could I please have another Disney sports game? How about another TMNT game? Sure, they may give us fans Castlevania on the DS but what else? More Yu-Gi-Oh? That's great.

If you want to play a really awesome ninja game and by a company that actually tries to support a system, I suggest Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja. Hey look. The talkback thread of the Nintendo World Report review of the game just happens to by around. Right here And it comes with an awesome customer testimony about the game. So, why don't we spend our dollars on a real company that actually tries to create innovative things on a Nintendo sytem and actually cares about the fanbase.

Thank you, Atlus. Thank you for caring.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #21 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:24:58 PM »

I don't like to double post but then I realized it ups my post count. Plus, it keeps the spirit of my first post in tact and doesn't switch gears. Unlike this second post. So, switching gears:

Hey Shecky, if you want a witness for the Patchkid15 trial, feel free to call me for the defense. I have some evidence I could provide to add further proof to damage Smash_Brother's UP/ARE/Nintnedo_Star/Elementos theory.

King of Twitch · « **Reply #22 on:** June 04, 2007, 07:10:47 PM »

"Is there any reason Wiis would have shot up"

Well since it's been out fot awhile sometimes these things just happen, without control.

Oh yeah, Atlus cares. They care so much, they took the thousands of years old game engine of Rogue (found in an Egyptian tomb, probably) and slapped a shallow "story" about ninjas on it. Ninjas who don't do a single ninja-like activity. If you really want a ninja game from a company that cares about ninjas, which, face it, is more important than Gamecube support, then look no further than Ninja Five-0, also from Konami. It stars a ninja named Joe, who is also a detective, and he swings around with a grappling hook and kills people. There is no better setup for a game possible in this universe. No doubt the surge in Wii ebay prices is the result of the excitement caused by the rumor I am just now making up of a new Ninja Five-0 game for Wii.

Alternatively, the Wii prices shot up at about the same time the release date of Metroid Prime 3 was announced, didn't they?

I don't go to trial without an assured victory.

This new kid just had all the same signs as UP: 2 line signature and egregious grammar and spelling.
