I am STUCK with a Wii.

January 13th, 2009 at 05:07 pm

A while ago, when Wiis were hard to get, I stumbled at them being delivered to Toys R Us and bought 2. One for us, one for sale on Ebay.

The one for sale on ebay was bought by someone who asked for it to be shipped to the Philippines. (even though in my auction I specified I won't ship Wii internationally).

I checked out the rates for insured shipping to Philippines and they were astronomical. Long story short, the buyer never paid, I did not follow up or kept on top of things so I still got charged by ebay for the auction.

Bittered by the whole ebay experience I did not list it again and just forgot about it for a while. I missed the deadline to return it to the store.
(all my fault). I should have known my personality and not have attempted this in the first place.

So now I have an extra new Wii that I don't know how to get rid of. Even at retail or slightly below retail price.

I am kicking myself Frown

    Try Craigslist. My dh sells them all the time. He would buy yours for a deep discount. Wink But I know you can sell for more to someone in your area. You may have to be patient - it seems to come in waves. NO bites for a few weeks, and then people will pay top dollar for a few days. I am confident you could recoupe most of the cost if you just tried.

    Gamecock, I or DH could drop it off pretty much anywhere in NYC for retail price. I have the receipt.
    I'm just happy to get rid of it.

    my sis's boyfriend lives in Brooklyn...he's a cop so he can pick it up. I have a call into the sis to make sure she still wants it (she wanted 1 2 days ago) and to find out how much she will pay.

    yep, that was easy! 3 people were in line at Circuit City this Sat for un-claimed reserved ones as I was paying for 4 little stylus's for my son's DS.

    Spoken too soon - not so easy.
    Turns out Gamecock's sister does not want one anymore. So I keep looking.

    Of course selling it locally would be easiest - less complicated with the actual exchange. But I may not be able to be that picky.

    I doubt you'll have any trouble selling it. Craigslist or friends of friends & relatives will soon come thru for you, I'd think.
