Hello there!

Wii Win-Win

Call it shrewd or call it shameless profiteering, but there was no way I could ignore the frenzy that’s happening on eBay over the newly released Wii. I watched nearly thirty auctions today - the least one went for was £310, and the most was £480.

£480! For a console with an RRP of £180! Bonkers!

So when Game called me up to tell me that they had one reserved for me, I brought it home and put up an auction.

If it sells for an obscene profit then brilliant. If not, then it’s time to set off again to rescue Princess Zelda :D

    It almost makes me wish I hadn’t unpacked mine

    Alas, I’m finding it far too fun to be flogging on eBay :P

    I’ve changed my auction to a 1-day one. I’ve seen them go for £440 in a day, so *fingers crossed.*

    This is an unprecendented display of willpower for me, but I think it’ll be worth it if I can effectively blag one for free!
