Would you do this just for the fun/benefit of it?

Hoarder Disclaimer: I didn't buy a mass stock all at once. I keep buying them one at a time, mostly in case a friend/co-worker/family member wants one.

I've recently found out that a lot of people locally will pay $100 extra for a Wii just so they don't have to run around. I know I can move these and after only selling 3, I can keep one for myself for free and be able to afford Mario Galaxy free as well.

I recieved an e-mail today asking me if I'd trade a Wii for an XBox 360 core bundle with a hard drive, an extra wireless controller, and three sports games from last year. Now I'm already in the black as far as money goes and I had been eyeing the 360. I could feasibly do this enough times (sell 6, trade 1, keep 1) where I could get all both systems for free.

Is it worth it though? It won't be a lot of leg work but it's probably gonna screw up my credit card interest royally. The plus side is that I'll have two current gen systems for free.

No. keep selling the wii's. Until Christmas, youre making more off of the WIi's than you could off the 360.

Run the numbers with your credit card interest and see if it's worth it to you.

Edit: Above poster has a good point.

It would be worth it if you know you can move them, also if you move them fast enough you should be able to pay off the CC before the interest would kick in.

No, I wouldn't sell the XBox 360. I'd be keeping it. The excessive cost of stuff in this current gen is what's keeping me out of it. The only one I'd actually pay for at cost is the Wii and that's simply because I'm a Nintendo mark.
