Wii Auctions

Below are the auctions on eBay for the Nintendo Wii. Auctions for the standard Wii, not including extra games, typically go for about $425 with $30 charged for shipping.

That's not bad considering the hours you'll save by not waiting in line and calling around to local stores to find out when they'll have the system in stock. I spent 6 hours total - 4 waiting in line in 20 degree weather and 2 calling around to local stores. Paying an extra $175 would have been worth it to avoid all that.

When buying off eBay:
  • Make sure the Wii you are getting is new
  • If possible, make sure it comes with a receipt so you can get your one year warranty coverage from Nintendo if anything goes wrong with it the first year
  • Also, make sure you are buying from someone with high positive feedback. If the seller has feedback of less than 10, I would avoid buying from that auction.
Happy bidding!
