I got Wii at base price!

January 25th, 2008 at 04:24 pm

Yesterday, on the spur of the moment we went out to eat in Time Sq. Afterwards we still had some time left on a meter, and just taking a chance I suggested going to Toys R Us just to check "what if".
And imagine, that was the day when they got Wiis! Nobody knew about them, so they were just sitting there. They were only selling one per person (quite strict about it). So I got up early today, to be there when the store opened. Waited in the cold... And got another one! (I'll sell that one on ebay and hopefully make $100+) And we are keeping one for ourselves, of course.

    Lucky you! Let me know how the eBay thing turns out!

    What a great deal! The Nintendo Wii is one of the few products where paying retail is actually scoring a deal. =) That said, I love my retail priced Wii.

    Be sure to stretch before extensive tennis or boxing stints. I wish I was exaggerating. Oh, horrible memories of sore unexercised muscles.

    One time, quite literally the Christmas Eve of 2007(!), I saw a Target employee pull out a Nintendo Wii and put it on the shelf.

    I was so tempted to buy it for re-sale. But, decided to think about that for a minute. Well, it was probably more like 5 minutes, but when I came back, it was gone!

    Oh, we LOVE our Wii. Well, my parents bought one for my youngest sister .. so I am making excuses to go and play. I think I might put this on my "to buy" list this year.

    Bowling is AWESOME. And my arm started to hurt after four games. We like Cooking Mama ... so much more fun than on the DS.

    Good luck making some money on the ebay sell.

    I am sure you will get more than an extra $100 try close to $500 . My friend sold his on ebay during the holiday season and made out like a bandit. Well that was during the holidays so maybe not that much but any how good luck

    Hey Amanda, thanks for the review on cooking mama. We do have it for the DS, but DD2 would like it for the Wii!
