I decided to see if prices on ebay had dropped any and found this.

It looks just too good to be true!!! I am tempted but you have to ask where is the catch.......!

Why is it only pre approved bidders
Why are pics looking like they haven't been taken at same time
Why is selling an xbox for exactly same price and postage with the same line that he got it for xmas and is too old for it.....!

I'd love to know if this is genuine or not but I cant afford to lose a hundred quid finding out!! If it is then I'm gonna be sick as a parrot. If I am right then I'd love to take his Wii and stick it right up his **** till the nunchuck popped out his ugly gob and then he can just jump around the room and act as a controller himself! :X

i got mine form argos today, but i just looked at e bay to see what prices were doing and saw this one as well, its the 3 rd time its been relisted cos it keeps coming back to me on my e mail as i was watching the item at one point, it does seem a bit odd that nobody has picked it up, but who knows, i dont think i would take the chance. !

Unless I was collecting, paying COD, and getting a demo of it working first, I'd trust that as far as I could throw it.

Look at his feedback .... all his previous sales are 1p items to the same people. His purchases are games stuff but in the listing he says he's too old for games?!?

Smells muchos fishy to me ....

Its a bull sh*te auction, I fell for that, exactly the same seller, he keeps on putting on the same auction constantly.

Basically, you e-mail him asking to become an 'approved bidder' and he e-mails you back advertising some web page, and how you can get a Wii for free.. bla bla bla if you sign up to.. bla bla bla.

Anywho, this website has been a great help for me so far :D, even though i havent found a Wii yet :< Went all around my local town yesterday (Southampton) and they're no where to be seen, keep on checking argos over the phone too but havent had any luck yet, cant seem to get through to an operator, just a stupid machine.

The local games exchange had 3.. but for £250 a piece! Which i thought was a bit steep, even so they got sold out with a couple of hours.
