Do these look genuine to you? If so thought I'd share it. Seems very good of someone.

Not sure. I tried emailing the guy to ask what the catch was, and why wasn't he selling it for more but as yet I haven't received a reply. I'm always wary of anything that looks too good to be true, it's not like it's £2 I'd be risking.

I'm trying to find one for a friend at work as he desperately wants one after I managed to get one on Friday from Amazon.

I read your Aunt got one for you, wish my Aunt was as nice as that. Normally I have to make do with a card and a £5 WH Smiths voucher!!!

Sorry for being thick, but what's a YM email account?

Incidentally if anyone read my previous post about thinking about selling mine when it comes, I had second thoughts after seeing one in the flesh today. :D

I've heard you should keep an eye on Amazon over the next week or so. Chances are they have some stock coming in and will be offering some bundles.

Also check with your local Currys and Comet in the run up to Christmas. Normally they have some stock that "turns up" just a few days before or afetr Christmas. It was the same with XBOX 360 and PS2 slimline when you couldn't get those.

sorry mate, one hand types faster than the other ment MY.

And those guys are scammers see below :

Hi,

Sorry to let you know, that I was offered £220 for the Wii over PayPal in a matter of seconds, and unfortunately the item is no longer available.

However because I can understand how frustrating it is trying to get one (from first hand experience!), here’s a link to a website I found which tells you how to get a Wii for free. Sounds crazy but its how I got my three, and (amazingly) there is no hidden cost, you just have to sign up for a free trial which you can cancel.

Anyway here’s a link to the website I found which explains it all:

Good luck with it, and sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

Regards

C*nts!

I wondered if it was a scam as the line "Brand New Nintendo Wii. Got this free online and I already have two"

Can you report them to eBay?

I have a friend that works for Tesco ( a manager not on the deli or something like that) and I have asked him to let me know of any stores that might be selling Wii before Christmas. Again I can remember people queuing outside for ages for PS2 when that went on sale as Tesco Watford had announced they had 100 or so available.

Trust me, some will show up before Christmas!

Yeah im sure they will, and they'll sell out in a flash!

I think people on ebay are having a joke really sellin Wii's for double even triple the original price haha. its a joke and its not even funny!

I'll keep a look out on stock in stores and post info up here, if youd do the same im sure it'l help a great load of people.

I'll keep my ear to the ground and keep everyone posted.

It is tempting to sell mine on eBay though, as I said in a post who's the ******** the person for selling for double the price or people willing to pay that price. If people weren't prepared to do that then we wouldn't have people selling them for over inflated prices.

It's a bit of a vicious circle really.

Yeah i suppose, but if people dont wanna let there familys down at xmas then im sure they'll be more than willing to pay that extra cash to please there family.. But really they wouldn't have to if Nintendo had made enough at the start - We cant really blame nintendo really though.

It is hard for families, especially if they think *whispers* Father Christmas is real and they asked him for the present. How do you explain why it's not there. I have all that to look forward too!

Damn commercial Christmas. Whatever happened to being happy with a satsuma, some nuts and a book token!! :wink:
