Hi A buddy of mine wants to sell his wii set-up so he can get a PS3.
it is all pretty much new and it is still under warrenty it was purchased last july it still has the origanal box manual's etc.
you would get the complete console set-up power cord a/v cord lite bar etc.
4 wiimote controllers
2 nunchuck controllers
wii sports game with boxing bowling tennis baseball and golf
spiderman friend or foe
mario party 8
NBA 2008
Tiger Woods 2008
C.S.I.
everything works and is in good condition he want's $500.00 shipped for it I figured I would offer it here since there hard to come by in stores and there usually around $380.00 shipped on ebay for just the console set so it seems to be an alright deal but anyhow if there is no intrest here it will be listed on ebay soon.
EDIT: I will only accept paypal from a verfied and confirmed address only.

Are they still going way over retail on Ebay even though Xmas is long gone?
-
Yeah. People on Craigslist keep buying them and trying to sell them for $325, lol. $250 plus tax, plus mileage, plus time spent: definitely not worth it.
:dunno

yup the plain jane console set-up with no extra's is around $380.00 shipped on ebay.
the dvd drives alone are selling for $125.00+
there still tuff to get in stores and around xmas a regular plain jane set were going for $600.00+ each
easter coming they will be going up again.
I recently sold one for around but just under $380.00 shipped on ebay and I started the auction at .99 cents.
my buddy has $140.00 without tax in just the extra wiimote controllers and nunchuck and the 5 games are worth probabaly around $30.00 each so he's not asking to much for it shipped tax free I dont think.
-
I can find them going in the $300 range. The $380 packages I see come with Wii Play at least which is another $50 retail.
I'm not knocking this guy's price, BTW. I'm figuring if you can get $380 for the standard console alone I want in on that action. I don't see it selling for that anywhere.

put a watch on a few that end soon and check them after the auctions ends.
breakdown of my buddys set
$249.99 console
3 extra wii mote's $120.00
1 extra nunchuck $20.00
5 games $250.00
total $640.00
$640.00 X .06 sale's tax = $38.40 tax
total $678.40
plus shipping included is close to $700.00 so $200.00 off is not to bad and it is still under warrently and in good shape.

Or select "Completed listings". All the consoles seem to come with multiple controllers and games for prices over 300
-
That's the search I did. There are some over $300 for just the console but they are not the average... they also seem to be listings that are intentionally misleading about the number of games and controllers.
