Good Afternoon,
Have you reprobates seen the clamour for Nintendo Wii’s at the moment? Every online UK store is sold out and the prices on ebay are soaring to £280 (RRP for the Sports pack is £180) at present I suspect that figure is only going to soar as desperate mothers and the press start to pick up on the clamour before Christmas.
Anyway if anyone wishes to make a fast buck then purchase a unit from Ze’Germans and just switch for a UK power lead (£4 off ebay). All of the other gubbins (manual etc) is in Englishhhhhhhh and you to can rip off a desperate mother for beer money.

Just an update if anyone encounters the non-Urine variety of Wii (see what I did there  ) then fucking grab it for all it's worth. I'm down to my last 5 consoles and the dirty French and German retailers stopped shipping to the UK last week due to stock shortages across Europe. Basic Sports console is now shipping at over £300 a pop through ebay and local ad's and aside from Hull and Brum most retailers like their online counterparts are now sold out. I've been turning about a tonne on each but I'm going to sit on 4 until next month when the desperate get even worse. |

I might get me one. The problem is that I'll probably decide to keep it.

Every shift I do (at Blockbuster) there are at least five or six phone calls to ask if we have any Wii's in stock, it's ridiculous! Luckily the last time we had some in I got one for my parents for christmas, as there would be no chance of getting hold of one now, its madness.

Heh heh, I just had an aggressive native woman phone me up off the back of a local classifieds ad accusing me of stockpiling and profiteering on Christmas and parent’s desperation to not disappoint their children. I politely agreed and told her as per today’s Daily Mirror piece the going rate is £350 - £400 She hung up. |
