$35 shipping that doesn't include Priority Mail? Priority Mail is an extra $20, making the Priority Mail shipping fifty five dollars?

Personally, I have no qualms with you saving on ebay fee's thru shipping costs - it's all taken into consideration while bidding.

For your own protection though, you better not ship via parcel post. Ebay/paypal scammers are gonna get you doing that with such a hot ticket item.

If I were you, I would ship by a method that has tracking, insurance, AND requires a signature on delivery.

EDIT: That's pretty crappy listing it as having "5 games". Get real.

Everyone selling a Wii says it comes with 5 games. Seems to be the standard line.

i have a friend who lives in sandpoint that is looking for one, if she buys it, can she pick it up with no shipping fee?

and add a few bucks for ebay/paypal fees?

That is certainly the case. It is either that or "14 games and four controllers" which is just a nunchuck and WiiPlay. $35 for shipping is also quite standard (besides, the shipping price isn't hidden). I did a quick search on other listings and that's what I found. I also think that buying just to sell again is a questionable act...but here I am. I guess that's what all sales is really. Most items are sold by resellers.

wow... thats a great way to get a Wii with out freezing your ass of

shardian · « **Reply #8 on:** December 08, 2007, 09:57:59 am »

It was only in stock for like 9 minutes or so. That is how quick word spreads.

AcidArmitage · « **Reply #9 on:** December 08, 2007, 11:43:21 am »

yea luckily i was at home watching tv, 9 minutes is plenty of time to order something.. especially on amazon. if you go to wiialerts.com when you get the text, they give you a direct link to the product, too.

ChadTower · « **Reply #10 on:** December 08, 2007, 01:33:13 pm »

I've been using wiialerts but they've all come to me after they were all gone... just not getting them in time. I've been using email, though, as I don't carry a cell phone. I'm setting up the wife's cell now.

ChadTower · « **Reply #11 on:** December 08, 2007, 02:33:12 pm »

I tried to be gentle with you, jim, but you don't get it. I'm not attracted to you, even with your offer of a Wii.
