Wii Remotes

So, I'm trying to find myself another Wii Remote, at a very low price. This is becoming one of the harder objects to find a deal on. I've looked online, and seen a few cheap ones. I feel that those are the knock offs made by some kid in China. Nintendo basically made the Wii Remote a Wii U controller, so they're still $40. I've even found some of the Wii remotes in the old non Wii U packaging, and those still rung up for $40.

$40 is simply too much for a controller, especially with the console at a much lower price. The only deals I've found so far was the Flingsmash bundle at $30. I still do not want to pay $30 for one.

Anyone know of any deals out there?

Two questions:

- Is 1st party a dealbreaker?

- Is "new" a dealbreaker? Craigslist/ Ebay seem well stocked!

Doesn't have to be new. I'd prefer the official Nintendo controllers. The second party stuff just doesn't feel the same to me.

I've found a few people on craigslist selling complete consoles for like $50. If push comes to shove, I'll probably just end up buying one of those instead of paying $40 for a new controller. At least we could use it in another room for Netflix.

Thanks for the reply back!

If you happen to live near one, Sears is clearancing out their older Wii Remote Plus controllers (in the Wii packaging) to replace them with the new Wii U packaged versions. I think they are around $25 right now, and they may go even lower if no one picks them up.

clearanced/sales/price mistake Flingsmash bundles is the way to go,if you are patient. 8 bucks at BB more than a year ago, picked up 3. They are harder to find but they do happen, you have to be quick though.
