Buying a Wii?

Question

Buying a Wii?
Whats up with the Wii? All the ads for Circuit City, Best Buy, etc. say they have them. Then when you go online to purchase or go to the store, they are out of stock. I have searched all over and the only ones available are on EBay at premium prices. Are the stores purposely holding them back to jack up the prices? Or is it a problem with the manufacturer? Anyone know a place where they are available other than EBay?

Answer

They are so popular, they are selling faster than they can be manufactured. Nintendo is saying they will be able to ship . million before christmas though.brbrThe only people holding them back to jack up the prices are those on Ebay. Some of these people are buying more than a hundred and then doubling or tripling the price to make a profit. Thats person with equipment they are not using and wanting it but unable to get it. The best way to stop it is to not buy from them. If they werent making a profit they wouldnt be doing it.brbrKeep heart and be patient. I want to get one for my kids for christmas. But I wont if I cant get it for . That is how the consumer can regulate prices. Good luck.
