I found a used Wii for sale on Craigslist, and I am going to check it out today, I was wondering if you guys could tell me how much you think its worth, or how much you would pay for the system, it comes with:

All used:
-Wii
-2 Wii Remotes
-2 Nunchuks
-1 Classic Controller
-Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
-Super Mario Galaxy
-Resident Evil 4
-cables
-12 hard drive games

I hope I get some quick replies before I check it out today! Oh, also, what issues should I look for when I test it out before buying it? Thanks a lot!
 
325 tops

the wii is no longer a hard to find system. if you want a new one call your local blockbuster they now sell them as well. so they are becoming more plentiful
 
Price on used Wii's plummeted bigtime recently. I got:

Wii
3 Wiimotes
2 Nunchucks
5 Games

for 260 on craigslist. Sold all the games and 1 of the controllers, ended up with a Wii + 2 wiimotes + 2 nunchucks for ~100 bucks.


Just a heads up, dont overpay for the wii, it really is a crappy system and should be priced accordingly.

You're delusional.
 
Thanks, the guy was asking $325, I think its a pretty good deal, but I would be more comfortable buying a new one, so I'm gonna pass.

how am i delusional? becuase of the 325 or the statement wii are plentiful?

if it is the wii is plentiful statement where i live in PA. the 3 local gamestops got 18 each in yesterday and noe blockbuster is selling them by my count that is 57 wii . i know that is not alot but saying they are still scarce is a mis statement

kinda have to agree with JJSP. That may be 57, but those are most likely gone or will be very soon. They may be popping up more, but they're still selling out quickly. 57 may be plentiful for yesterday, but see how long those last, and then see if it's plentiful.
 
i agree 57 is not alot but compared to 6 months ago that is a huge increase. i hope nintendo catches up so these scum bag resellers on ebay and craigslist will have to sit on it or take a loss.

if anybody wants on that bad i can get them one. my wife can hold all 3 @ her blockbuster since she is the manager. so there is still options

Blockbuster's getting maybe one or two a month, and the 18 at Gamestop won't be there longer than a week. Every major retailer (Circuit City, Toys R' Us, Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart) is consistently OOS on them, and when they do come in, they're gone in a day.

If you're anywhere near a major market, you'll have a hell of a time finding one in the wild. It's getting easier, but it's still not readily available to the point where you can go into any store and pick one off the shelf. It's not the supply that allows them to command a premium, it's the demand - the supply is low, but not dismal, and they're still, almost a year and a half in, being snapped up left and right.
 
i am in a small market and when i got my wii last friday the guys said it was in the back room for 4 days and i got the last one out of 12. so maybe they are scarce but for mine to sit int he back room for 4 days that to me seems liek the demand by me is going down.

as for blockbuster they got 3 in today and they are getting in another 15 next week if the 3 go quickly. so it will be instersting to see ho0w fast they go at blockbuster. i know for a fact 2 of them have been sold alrerady
