Default Can somebody please help me find a Wii ???

My mom has been bugging the hell out of me for this thing. Can somebody please help me find one at best buy/target/wall-mart or a place like that?

If somebody buys it for I can pay them right back!!

I would really appreciate the help!

Ask your local UPS guy, as they usually know when the shipments come in, a good friend did this and was able to get one.

Are these getting harder to find during the christmas holidays or what? I went to Wal-Mart lastnight to buy my little nephew a game for his DS and I noticed there were like 2-4 Wii's inside the glass case. Don't know how much they are going for though.

My wife is the manager up here at Toys R Us. I can see what she can do if they are getting any shipments in. I would have to ship it to you though if they get any.

Pretty sure price gouging is not allowed here.


I can go to the Wal-Mart right now and get you one for 249.99 + tax

i'm not trying to make money off it, i was wanting to see if anyone would trade me, cause i dont want the Wii, we're supposed to be getting a shipment of them in. I'll let you know if i can get my hands on one, sometime tomorrow or the day after. best buy will be stocked with about 20-35 Wii's a day. We sold 40 in about 30minutes.

Show me where price gouging isnt allowed? Its not gouging if the supply is limited.

Just picked up another Wii today and flipped it before I left the store for $100 more then I paid Best buy for it.

Its called supply and demand. Supply is short, price gets raised. Simple business Economics.
