Hey guys...

I've decided to buy an NTSC wii console for modding purposes. I'll be looking to pay retail price for it too, which is $250 right?

If anyone wants to sell... then lets talk.

HAHAHA RETAIL!!

No.

I made over $200 profit on the Wii I ebayed a few weeks ago, and prices seem to have stayed the same since then.

Ebay is your best (only?) bet, I'm afraid.  Maybe you could get one that's been opened and save a few bucks, but you never know if it might be one of the ones that gets bricked by new firmware.

edit: Maybe try this one?  It's opened and comes from a 99% seller.  The best chance you're likely to get for at least a couple months.

Hope that helps.

Ah... I'm just gonna wait I guess

Just definately need an ntsc one to make use of the modchip I'm gonna install. Thanks for the scathing laughter btw

Man. There's guys actually begging people to buy ps3's on a uk forum called "hotukdeals". Undercutting the uk release price by about £100 in some circumstances! Well done Nintendo. Back on top again.

If I didn't enjoy my Wii so much i'd sell it to you for Retail price. Just picked up that Wii Play game that came with a spare WiiMote ... Fun!

Hmm... You know, I'll make you a deal.  This is once in a lifetime

1 Wii
4 Wiimotes (one from Japan, so it's extra cool! )
4 Nunchuks
1 Classic controller
2GB SD
Everything else from the wii package, including box, wii sports, etc
Download: Ristar
Download: Super Mario Bros
Rayman Raving Rabbids

All of the above is opened, but 3 of the wiimotes haven't been used and 3 of the nunchuks are still sealed in original package.  For... hmm...

Wii - 300
4 wiimotes - 45 apiece
4 nunchuks - 35 apiece
Classic - 30
2GB SD - 50
Ristar, SMB - 12
Rayman - 50
Shipping - 50
Profit - 88

$1000 USD shipped?  Those controllers are bloody impossible to find.  Moreso than the Wiis themselves in some areas.

In all actuality I could probably get you a brand new wii once the ebgames gets them in stock since i work right next door to one and are friends with the store manager...

[Altor]

And how about the controllers? ^^

[popinadam]

Good luck with that one really ... haha. You can always buy WiiPlay for a spare.
