I am interested in selling my Nintendo Wii console that is about 3 months old. It will come with all the accessories and the box and the game, Operation Trauma Center plus Wii sports. Make an offer if you are interested and dont offer anything under $300.

you seriously expect people to pay that much. Walmart sells wiis for 250, and games are usually around 50. for a 3mo old system a person could just buy it NEW, and get a better deal with warranty.

Is operation trauma center any good?

What kind of extra accesories/remotes do you have?

Yes I expect people to pay that much. I mean if you had a brain you could look online or anywhere else, wii's are all still sold out and this is what the units are going for. Also operation trauma center is a really fun game. It really uses the wii controls well. I've beaten the game but its still lots of fun to play.

I'm interested in a Wii, but your price is a bit steep if it only comes with one controller.

you're still not going to get Retail price. if you have a bunch of extra wiimotes and nun-chucks then you might get 300 here.

Just make your offer and we will go from there. I am asking retail because it is still sold out everywhere. And its only two months old and it looks and plays in mint condition. so I guess just make your offers and we will go from there.

Im pretty sure I want to sell my wii but just in case, what will modding do for it? and also thanks for making the offers but there is no way I would sell it for anything short of $250. I am hoping for an offer around 300 so yeah.

Then go to eBay. Trying to manipulate people because of supply and demand on seek is silly, and not worthwhile unless there is a serious draw for demand that would make your ludicrous price worthwhile. You are selling a USED Wii, with very few accessories and only 2 games; as others have said, you're fooling yourself. Furthermore, your target market here (i.e. College Students) don't generally have a high amount of disposable income to begin with, so expecting numbers close to full value isn't just silly, it's insane. Just because supplies of Wii are not currently available doesn't mean that a large quantity isn't being produced to meet demand. Now that Nintendo has data on sales figure and inventory turnover, they will produce more units to meet the forecasted demand. This means that I wish you the best of luck on selling this for the price you want, because it's not going to happen.

This has been a public service announcement provided by a person with a Bachelor's degree in Business who is currently pursuing a Master's.

you never really stated what "accessories" consisted of..

just one wiimote and the standard dev av cables... or do you have multiple motes, nunchucks, possibly the componet cables, memory card, etc, etc
