ens_leader1 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I called toys r us today (New Jersey) only to talk and ask if preorders were starting tomorrow they said yes.... I told them that I didn't want to wait outside and asked them if they would be interested in 'setting one aside for me' if i paid them a little monetary bonus ($20 dollars)... Long story short, he agreed, I met him at the store, paid him and yada yada yada, gonna sell it on ebay. Video games are for chumps anyways. Lesson learned here folks, money is everything....

FryzDog Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I heard that there would be no short supply like the 360 and the PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly :) I can see you making a loss on it, and will be surprised if anyone looks to eBay to buy a Wii. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway. Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I'll be camping outside a Best Buy for a long time to get one. I really want one at launch :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFootJockey Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hahaha, what a waste of $20. You could have gone in tomorrow and pre-ordered one without paying more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 It is predicted that the wii will not have the same sales issues as the 360. There is supposedly enough units to fulfill demand and possibly a slightly lesser demand. You paid $20 for something that would have cost you less in 24 hours time! You expect people to pay $500 for a $250 console - you're dreaming. "money is everything"? Really? To you possibly, but I have a much more fulfilling life.

Phemo Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 You'll be lucky to get much more than retail price for the Wii. If you think you're going to get $450 plus then you'll be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted October 29, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2006 i hope everyone who wants one gets one, and your stuck with a Wii.. people like you make me sick, you buy systems ONLY to sell it for profit on ebay. Things like this, is why the world is going down hill, and kids won't get their christmas present without their parents paying out the ass.
