FYI - Nintendo Wii

[Francesco]

I was looking for a Nintendo Wii for my nephews and having a look around I fund this Italian site that provide an English interface that would send the Nintendo wii to the UK for Euro 260 + postage charges:

and click on the Union Flag on the top right corner.

Knowing that there are many people looking for them here in the UK and other people paying more than they should I thought somebody could be interested.

As far as I'm aware it is the same as in the uk all you need to do is to use a plug adaptor or change the plug.

PS - I ended up buying it on another site for Euro 237 but they are not sending them to the uk and I sent it to my parents address ;)

One of my clients rang up the other week to say he had found out about a shop that was getting a batch of 50 in. He paid for a courier to stand in the q from 6am in the morning to ensure he got one. In the end we had 3 couriers there for 3 clients (it was 1 Wii per person)

My lads got there at 6am and they were 40th, 41st and 42nd in the line. Tickets were issued to the first 50 to prevent q jumping and the rest of the people truned away.

An unlucky arrival at 6.30 offered one of my couriers £100 for his ticket in the q.

Madness, this years must have kids pressie, glad to say i managed to get one for my kids though.


BTW have you seen hwo much there selling for on ebay?

On e-bay they are around £250 but I saw them going for up to £350 (maybe with some games that nobody want) and buy it now for £500... madness for a piece of equipment that should be around £180.

BTW one of my colleague told me that you can even sweat when playing the boxing game... good excercise apparently!

this site emails you stock alerts and lets you know who has stock in and what price it's at. Great if you sit by a pc all day - one of my colleagues has managed to get three for her and her mates so far... and all at £180 with free delivery

Seems to be the same story allover, Argos in Kilmarnock were getting an allocation of 50 Nintendo Wii one morning last week, A guy i know thought he would get there 1 hour before they opened only to find he was 54th in the q, So later on he went a stroll down the town only to see and ad in a shop window for Nintendo Wii, In he went and the guy behind the counter said yip we have them for sale but they are £260...He purchased 2 just to make sure his kids were not dissapointed on xmas morning, Rip off or what?

Have also heard that one of the people in the Argos q who got one put it straight onto fleabay...

Little mobile fone shop round here suddenly just got some in, selling them for £300 each. Nearly bought one from Tesco couple weeks back for almost half that.
