I had found a nintendo freaking wii on ebay for 3.90 dollars, that is the cheapest I could find, and I don't have the money, I know they do, and they wont buy one, cause in a freaking month(Which I can't wait that long for) said wal mart will have them for 2.50, and I like, BUT THEY AREN'T GOING TO HAVE THEM CAUSE THEY SELL FREAKING OUT BEFORE THEY EVEN GET TO THE DUMB STOR! PARENTS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!

On ebay? Don't trust ebay. You have no idea how they can manipulate the price. And its probably fake anyway. At 2.50? When does the auction end? Seems fishy to me...

JDog

No need to worry, my dad is going to reserve one for me at wal mart on monday! IM SO HAPPY!

Yeah I am sure 2.50 is the price but with about 5-10 days remaining on it. I got my Wii on Ebay on opening day for 350 (counting shipping) which was well worth it for the extra 100 dollars.

JDog

Yeah well, I guess begging can get you something. :D

you know what i did? i braved the november cold to sit for five hours and pee in a gutter to get mine

Like what Darkphantomime said, 2.50...for a Wii? It would be WAY more than that. Maybe that's the price for shipping.

DW

ebay items usually start ridiculously low, then everyone goes after it and it ends up way high...
