EBAY BOYCOTT INFO:
Total Number of auction on Ebay and the Percentage decrease.

14,698,193 -473982 -3.22% 2/19/08 2:05AM
14,092,226 -647313 -4.59% February 20, 2008 5:05 pm



Reseller FAQ (ask these questions in the forum and get smacked around!):

EBay Fees Calculator[I]

www.ebcalc.com

This is how eBay will calculate your Final Value Fee if your item sells for less than $1000 and you do not receive any special discount. Note that the FVF is based on the auction's ending price excluding any S&H Charges:

8.75% of the first $25 + 3.50% of the remaining amount exceeding $25

Example: Sale Price $400

FVF = (.0875 * $25.00) + (.035 * $375.00) = ($2.19) + ( $13.13) = $15.32

[I]Shipping Recommendations

Where can I get boxes to ship stuff on the cheap? Try Walmart (24 hour stores are great for this at 4am)! Go to your local grocery store also and ask them to save boxes for you. You can just buy 18x12x12 boxes for under $3 for your bundle. Packing peanuts are the lightest filler but are hard to find for free. If you want to order 25 or more boxes at a time, you can get them from uline.com for around $1.50 each with shipping.

The Nintendo Wii also fits perfectly into the boxes that hold several reams of paper. These boxes can be found for FREE at any bank, office supply store, library, and any other location that prints paper on a regular basis. These boxes are sturdy but light and also work well in shipping bundled items. Be aware that when claiming damage insurance on shipping, the quality of your packing will come into question - for $400-$500 an inspector will probably come look at the package, so it may be worth both positive feedback and insurance protection to use good boxes.

What size of box to get? Considering that Nintendo ships the Wii with no other padding, you shouldn't need much either. You will want your box to be crush proof which means having packing material fill throughout the empty spaces. The Wii will fit perfectly in a box with 15"Lx10"Hx6"D dimensions with 1" to spare on the depth. If you are going to pack a nunchuk you will need a minimum of 15x10x8, as they are thick. Staples sells a 15x12x10 box that fits the Wii perfect on two sides, or you can use the extra space for padding all around. 15x10x10 gives you lots of bundle space, but these must be ordered, you won't find them at B&M stores.

Which shipper is best FedEx Ground consistently has cheaper rates and faster shipping times in comparison to UPS Ground (however eBay does not automatically calculate rates for FedEx). USPS priority mail is a fast 2-3 days anywhere which will get you glowing feedback, but it does not have tracking. Signature delivery is required for PayPal seller protection on items above $250 (signature is also required for FedEx when it is declared value for $500+) - without signature, a PayPal dispute is ripped out of your account and gone forever. The total shipping price for anywhere in the USA 48 contiguous ranges from $12-$18 FedEx (bundle shipping more), depending on the distance. FedEx insurance has reported to only pay the cost of the items, whereas UPS may pay the full auction value.


When should I list my Wii?

You should use the completed auction search and make up your own mind from past results. The biggest problem is that there are usually are several listings ending every minute and you don't want that much competition, it's better to list at a time when more people might be bidding, and less might be listing new Wiis. Don't use scheduled auctions, list your item at a random time. If we told you when we list, then YOU'D be competition!

For research, www.terapeak.com (http://slickdeals.net/?sduid=305707&t=678154&u2=http://www.terapeak.com) provides the most complete information for FREE on any item on eBay. Be sure to filter out extra items such as accessories or games to more accurately view the data on selling the Nintendo Wii. Timing your listing also makes a large difference on increasing your profit margin, thus it is also important to adjust the website to fit your timezone.

What is the difference between a Dutch Auction and a Multiple Item Auction Listing?

A true Dutch Auction, which gets its name from the Tulip auctions in the Netherlands is an auction that starts with a really high asking price. The price is then lowered incrementally until one person bids to end the auction. These types of auctions are effective for selling high priced items. For eBay purposes, Dutch Auction is used to refer to Multiple Item Ascending Auctions (listings with 2 or more items) in which the price starts low, at say $0.99, and then is bid up incrementally, ending with one winner purchasing multiple units or multiple winners purchasing a single unit each. The term 'Dutch Auction' is used to refer to both the true Dutch auctions as well as Multiple Item Ascending Auctions, thus there is often some confusion amongst individuals when the term is used.

Newegg. 260 shipped.

I just got a wii alert but I can't find it. I'm wondering if it's a false alarm

Newegg.com bundle

ya anyone want to sell me 5 fits for 135, also

LOL. I would take 7 for 145-150 but no one here got 7.I got replies with 4's and 5's the last time I asked. I can't even find buyers with multiple buy it nows on ebay either. Maybe we should sell to each other ;)

i just picked up 4 at 154.99 each, that was the best i could find

I only have 3 left on my other account, and I am waiting on a 10% off coupon or something. Just bought another 15 off 100 bucks to target.

I say pay 5 dollars for 10 dollars is not a bad deal.

Just thought I'd ask..

$155/each?? After 25% discount $116/each would be a bit steep for me.. Unfortunately I cannot get the extra 10% off,,,

Yep. I gotta take advantage of this 25% and I got a 10 percent coupon plus ebay bucks. I got 2 purchases already with live.com rebates. I didn't max out to the 250 on those because I didn't want to take the risk since people weren't getting the cashback updated in their live account.

So I got 44% off.

Nice. I will actually pay 155 as well. If someone could set up 6 fits in an auction then I'll buy them. Should workout to be under 90 bux per.

Anyone know how much the mario kart w/ wheel plus additional wheel weight? Thanks.

im gonna guestimate 2lbs (guessing 1lb 4oz for mario kart, 8 to 10 oz for wheel (packaging is heavy)...might push 3lbs with a box. (ie you might want to ship priority mail flat rate box 9.30 online rate)

2.5 pounds realistically after packaging.

are you guys still making money on mario karts? it looks like the prices are kinda low and barely cover ebay fees / shipping / cost.

Anyone able to use the 15 off 100 coupon over and over today?

I was able to use it a few times before an older guy kept it. I would just say, "can you scan this for me?" I would just hold it up and not hand it to them. They would scan it and then I would immediately put it back in my pocket.

2.5 pounds realistically after packaging.

You can ship the Game and 2 wheels in 2 priority mail envelopes. Insert the 1 envelope into the other, and just tape the little part that sticks out.

It weighs in under 2 llbs, so you can save a buck or two.

What is the best size box to ship 14/4 package in?

The Wii I got from ebay came just wrapped in brown paper, I swear some sellers

You mean 15x10x8, right? Because I dont think Wii will fit in 15x5x8. I use 15x10x8 and it is perfect fit for 14/415x5x8

I got a few like that.

The guy I bought 7 for just sent me a message that his mom had a heart attack and that he wouldnt be able to ship until Wed/Thurs if surgery goes well.

I asked for a refund, and said I would pay him again when he is ready to ship. Im not sure what thats going to do to my live search bonus and ebay discount if he refunds.

What is the most people will pay for some Buy It Now fits? And how many would you like to buy. PM me and if it looks inviting I will do it :)

no one on here. Found someone offering multiples that was within a 1 day delivery area. It is a powerseller..but Id rather not have them holding onto my $1000 dependent on their mother's recovery time (or their ability to find the Wii Fits to fill my order).

LoL.. and I thought mine were bad. I had a box with 2 fits. The box could have hold 5 fits it was so deep. The guy put a lot of paper(ads you'll find in a sunday paper) on the top along with some of the big air bags you find in the amazon shipments.

I have guy who has multiple fits in an auction for buy it now. I told him I would but x amount for x amount basically asking for a discount. He said that he only sells 1 or 2 per person. hilarious when I can just buy him out with even asking him.

No. I stop selling MK after I ran out of the inventory I got from the Target deal. I later started selling without wheels to bring down the weight. I shipped via media mail with delivery confirmation for about 3 dollars something.

Without Target MK's, the margins were getting very slim. I'm out until Target or TRU runs another promotion.

Anyone else notice the lack of 10% ebay/paypal coupon going through. Appears ebay had a bug or something. I was charged the full amount on mine (ignoring live cashback).

What do you mean? Please elaborate

What do you mean? Please elaborate

Nevermind, found a post on ebay forums that explained. The 10% off coupon only shows in your history tab, not under overview. I'll check the charge when it comes through today or tomorrow, but it looks like the 10% was applied. Pretty crappy of paypal to have it show on one page, but not the other... certainly misleading.

EDIT: Just to clarify for those like me, who had no clue, on the history tab it will show a credit from ebay as a deposit to your account, right before the charge of the sale. So, in my example, it had a bank account deposit (90%), ebay coupon deposit (10%), then a full charge for the ebay transaction of 100%

Man, we go dead on Mondays, don't we...

So... with a lack of anything else... what did everyone do this weekend?

I had a HD dumpster dropped off and proceeded to clear out my house of all the crap we have let pile up. Also cleared out the garage so I can park my suv in there (my wife's old banged up minivan sits in there while my 10 month old Jeep GC Limited sits out in the elements... go figure). Also put up three 2x4 pegboards and mounted all my tools and everything... so I wouldn't have 3 tool boxes full of stuff, which made it impossible to find things in a hurry. Only spent about $50 for the boards, all the hooks, and some custom peg racks (like one for my B&D drill and charger). I was wiped after about 6 hours in the heat... but looks great today and was a pretty productive Sunday.

Anyone else have a good weekend?

No, just add 3 units to your cart and then remove the guitar pick ($4.99). After you do this, the 3rd game will become free.

Not sure if there are other online coupon codes that can be combined or not.

Attention for whoever following my amazon grabber.

Hey caspita, do you have the link to your amazon grabber?

So question.

I have a friend who wants to sell his WII.

He has the system, all mint no scratches/damage, plus 3 games (Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, and I think Resident Evil UC), two wiimotes/nunchucks total.

Whats the best route to sell it? How much will he get you think?

499.99

So i've been looking at ebay...seems like the fits prices has increased you think it's hit it's peek or you think it'll still rise? btw what is about the average cost to ship out a fit?

its costs me around $9-$15 to ship out a fit with fedex

fits cost me $13 on average, ground (or home)

plus $1 and change per box from uline (20x14x4 - yes, it fits)

Prices might go down a bit after Sunday's Target release.

I think the Targets will be lucky to get more than 12 per store. Thus, demand will still greatly outweigh supply at least for now. My bigger concern is that like most exercise geared "gadget", it might be a "fad".

Thats classic good news/bad news.

Whenever a ton of people see it in the ad and are unsuccessful in obtaining it, demand will go up.

But if we dont have a stockpile of them, it does us no good.

I suspect more than 12. They may be sitting on multiple shipments. We havent seen much for 3 weeks out of target. Some stores put them out 2 weeks ago, a lot were holding at that point.

Also, does anyone have the tracker for the Metal Gear Solid bundle

Here (http://www.target.com/gp/store-info/find-target-store.html?asin=B0014WJ78E) it is, but it doesn't work.. In case you haven't already figured it out, the tracker is simply based on the ASIN number. Amazon is a good place to get ASIN numbers.

I agree and also suspect multiple shipments for some Targets but think a majority will be less than 20 total fits. The key is knowing who sold and didn't sell yesterday if you have been watching closely since the launch and have multiple targets surrounding you, then you might already be seeing some patterns. Of course, there is no accounting for rogue managers..

No matter what happens over the next couple of weeks it still will not satisfy the demand because this market is primarily being driven by resellers and the supply cannot keep up.

I am more curious what will happen with the console market, the fit market seems secure for some time to come..

Ok, here we goes a new question :)... Printing shipping labels.. what do you people use for UPS and USPS labels? I'm getting tired of the 8x11 paper and then having to fold the sides and use tape to stick it to the box for UPS .. :rolleyes: .. then we have the USPS label which insists in printing the half page receipt with the details and cost forcing you to go scissors to cut the page by half :vomit: .. (plus the taping), either way I'm tired by now and want to go "auto adhesive" so I just print and stick :)... but then, is there something that fits UPS? I guess to find something for USPS is going to be easier .. but with UPS printing rigth in the middle of the page :confused: :confused:

Anyone mind to share the options? perhaps label references or online ordering .. I may seem a little st...p but I don't seem to find any info about that :lmao: or any option to change the way the labels are printing... I just print directly from Paypal to my regular inkjet HP printer :yummy:, soo.. if there is some kind of UPS/USPS app which will allow me to use auto adhesive pre-defined lables I'm interested also :)

Thanks!

I just print directly from Paypal to my regular inkjet HP printer :yummy:, soo.. if there is some kind of UPS/USPS app which will allow me to use auto adhesive pre-defined lables I'm interested also :)

Thanks!

For all my shipping I use the free labels that UPS provides, you can order 100 of them at a time on the UPS website.

To print UPS to fit the labels you have to highlight the label then print the selection.

and to turn off the receipt I found the following directions...

Log into your paypal account, and click on "profile", then under SELLING PREFERENCES click "shipping preferences", then click the link that says "Edit Printer Settings" found under U.S. Postal Service Preference, and then under Laser/Ink jet printer, UNCHECK the box that says "Print Receipt"

Question to all the resellers here...

has any store employee ever asked you why you are buying the Wii / Wii Fit / Mario Kart in bulk, and what do you tell them ?


I have been asked this questions sooo many times already thats it becomes hard to answer the question already, I have answered with, I ship it overseas, for family... etc.. but what really gets on my nerves, is a store like Meijer last night where I already know the night manager, refused to sell me a Wii because I would just sell it on E-Bay, they gave me the speech that - they are invoking their right not to sell to dealers. Sheeesh... Lesson learned. Never ever tell or show a manager that you are buying in bulk.

Question to other resellers as well, if you have a crew that goes with you when you get the Wii, how do you have them pay for it? cash, gift card?

Thanks for all those suggestions and tips...

PS3 MGS bundle @ newegg. Didnt anyone get in on it?

Out of stock by the time I got there at 8:26

Got all the way to checkout and then it was OOS

how much are those things going for on avg on ebay? seems like the fees are going to be insanely stupid.

Question to other resellers as well, if you have a crew that goes with you when you get the Wii, how do you have them pay for it? cash, gift card?



Different ways. If they are broke or don't have credit cards I give them cash to use. If they have credit cards, they use them and get the rewards, and then I pay them back with cash. If it's Target or BB I buy gift cards to bump up my reward points and they pay with those.

Looking for some advide from the experts here.....
Has anyone ever accepted Paypal for a CL sale and then shipped the item? Any major risks here?

if its confirmed address you should be fine. I'd accept Paypal and ship through CL before I would accept Paypal and hand-deliver.

I would be careful, if the person who answered your ad was not local, try to get a hold of that person to make sure they are legit and have them sign for the package if it is above $ 100.

Costco is some garbage. How does Sams have almost weekly Fit releases and Costco never has any online or at the B&Ms near me? My local Costcos haven't had any Fits since launch and they have no idea when they will have more. If they didn't have Wiis a few weeks ago they would be totally useless.

I just called costco today and they said they don't even have any on order!

This is funny though I had 3 wii fits sitting in my cart from BB's online release a couple weeks ago so I decided to try to check out and see what happens and now all 3 have just been shipped.

Does Best Buy cancel multiple orders?

Use multiple accounts or no accounts at all.

I guess if you are able to buy atleast once or twice, it will pay off your fees and then next time onwards it will be profit.Is it worth it to become a member?

There is still a margin there even though its not amazon.

ordered 2 and it's still showing in stock :omg: :omg:

Tax + Shipping really kills the deal.

Cancelled all but 2 for me.

I am passing on BB..I think from now on I am sticking to Amazons Wiis. Getting tired of getting hit with $12 of tax on each one in the stores

its about $5 more than buying one at the local Target.

Good luck with that. Amazon has had like 10 wiis each of the last two weeks.

I'm wayyy long on BB .. makes me nervous also but then you have to take the risk .. all of the emails still say "order received will be processed soon" .. but no conf/canc emails yet

I think it's lasting so long because they're being so hardcore on cancellations. I ordered 8 and had 6 cancelled immediately.

I know. I am not selling Wiis like I used to either. I am selling more Fits when I can get them than Wiis. I just have a few that I ran upon in some stores and of course my gut told me GET THEM!!!

Are you guys buying on just one account?

Are you guys buying on just one account?

All separate for me. This is the longest in stock ever, horrible.

its about $5 more than buying one at the local Target.

what is? it's more like $30 more when buying at target or amazon. yes i'm using the 10% coupon.

Amazon was once in stock for over 25 min

ordered 3, same acct ..
all different CC
no cancellation yet ...

All separate for me. This is the longest in stock ever, horrible.

and they still are canceling them?

I broke down and ordered 1 on 3 separate accounts. No confirm. emails yet though. I figure I'll have no problem moving these on CL.

and they still are canceling them?

Yes they cancelled all but 2.

Amazon was once in stock for over 25 min

that was when all the resellers panicked cause they couldnt place more than one order on the same account. =p

Yes they cancelled all but 2.

Did you order them w/ separate accounts & diff. CC or just one account?

At this point I'm happy they cancelled all the rest, this is wayyyy too long in stock for my tastes.

Seeing how long they're staying, it's making me think about cancelling my 1. I still have 10 from Target this past weekend.

woohoo! got a wii fit from sams club just now also!

numerous cancellations coming in from BB despite ordering with diff email addresses and diff credit cards...maybe its only one order per billing address

BB just canceled 1
2 left waiting ...*sigh****

Sams club again for the Fit is in stock
missed again. :(

How can BB have this many wiis...

Anyone with any info on B&M Fits this week? TRU told me to check on Thursday. Might be getting them in across the country throughout the week.

I think it's lasting so long because they're being so hardcore on cancellations. I ordered 8 and had 6 cancelled immediately.

Yeaph... all but 3 cancelled for me also.

How can BB have this many wiis...

Well.. when the B&M have them sitting on the floor, why wouldn't the warehouse have them?

In the past week, I have seen several in my area several that had more than 9 just sitting on the floor also MarioKarts (one had 20)... the only real shortage I see are FIT's, everything else seems to slowly reaching equilibrium.

Anyone with any info on B&M Fits this week? TRU told me to check on Thursday. Might be getting them in across the country throughout the week.

I can confirm this as well.. heard the same thing from multiple TRU's... those who do not get them on let's say Thursday, will have them on Friday. The "rumor" of how many.. about a dozen per store...

ya supposedly my toysrus got them in last thursday and I had no idea, pretty sure I called everyday and noone ever said they had them or they had just soldout or anything.

Got 1 order canceled from BB. Diff. Account, Diff CC but same addy. Strange?

Hahaha I love this "4 U" stuff now.

BB was weird. Said there was a problem with my order, I assumed I was too late. But got a confirmation email. Go figure. Also, got in on a fit from Sam's. Have been cursing Sams - hasn't worked for me to order from them since I joined in December. Haven't bought enough yet to justify my membership fee.

I lost track of all the Fits I bought on ebay. Just got shipment notification of one I bought on the 8th. Never heard from the dude. I will leave him less than 5 stars.

I'm amazed as a reseller how others treat their buyers. Glad I bought a few wii's & fits to see how other sellers communicate, ship, etc. No 5 stars from me, either.

I had 1 seller ship the wii wrapped up in only a garbage bag with the paypal shipping label stuck on the outside. Didn't even know the seller shipped it until I saw a wii sized garbage bag sitting in front of my door.

between that one and the "heart attack" mom..which could very well be true..Im hesitant to buy another bog batch that Im looking to turn around quickly. I should have been selling that batch of 7 today/tomorrow.

I dont have a ton of TRUs accessible but it would be nice to get some during the week.

Signed up for Sams Club on the 2nd alert--missed out on buying on the third alert.

If the seller shipped it using a Paypal label, doesn't Paypal email you the tracking info?

I always assumed paypal does but there was never one sent to me for this one. Wasn't even in spam folder.

I did get emails asking for tracking # when I shipped with paypal myself so I always send a second tracking info email thru ebay now.

So, got a MGS PS3 bundle today at Target. Oddly, their WiiFit stock tracker changed inventory to Available last night at about 10:00 pm. I figured since they were closed by then, I would hit the store today and pick up what I could. Checked this morning, still Available. Went in... none. DPCI showed none in stock room.

I am wondering if they scan them in and then remove them or make them invisible. Either that or the tracking includes knowledge about shipments delivered, but the store isn't scanning them into stock on purpose... for this Sunday.

Also turns out, CC didn't really stop all my orders last week. Chase had halted my card from all the activity... had to get it unlock today while at target picking up the PS3. Oh well.

If anybody wants buy it now fits for $160 PM me. I can set up auctions for 6 to use the live cash back.

Hahaha I love this "4 U" stuff now.

does 4 u actually affect the best match?

For BB orders this morning, looks like they are letting me keep two orders and cancelling anything over that.. What is weird is that two of the order I placed do not show up in history but I have not received any cancellation emails.

If anybody wants buy it now fits for $160 PM me. I can set up auctions for 6 to use the live cash back.

It's at 20% today, so that is $128 each. 25% from yesterday would have been 120.

seems to

Some people also have 10% coupons that can stack and some kind of ebay bucks or something that will take another % off.

Flagging just because he's on top is not reason enough. I advise people to flag if it's s scam, link to website, etc.. You need to figure out how to stay on top and compete with everyone else. Now, if he's cheating in some way that's not "fair", I would be glad to flag.

no, that's the point, he's definitely cheating. There is absolutely no way he can not be flagged down while everyone else is getting flag. He is either doing all the flagging, but I heard it takes many people to take down an ad, or there is something he is doing that is cheating.

I am telling you, he cannot be flagged down. If you don't believe me, try to flag just one ad. I am not asking for flagging him down because i want to take down his ads. I am just saying it cannot be done and I would like that proven. It really doesn't matter anyways since he reposts every 2 hours anyways. He is spamming with multiple ads which is also against CL policy.

That's also why I am here, to figure out what I can do to stop getting flagged. My ad goes down the minute it posts.

I have heard that there is some code you can use in your ads that will make them flag proof. I have searched long and hard and not been able to find that code so I don't know if it's true or not.

It usually takes 3 flags to take down an ad on CL, at least for the Wii by my experience. Some people have multiple accounts on CL and sit at the computer all day reposting their ads, so unless you are free all day, there is no other solution.

Also, agree that the only time one should flag is if it's spam etc. If someone is selling for a lower price or is good at posting ads, then it is no reason to flag. Otherwise it leads to flagging wars and everyone loses.

I am new to this reselling thing but can someone please tell me how much do u think i can resell a wii for ..?

depends on your market. but I think that's too high in my opinion. 300~330 seems more right. at least in my market.

no, he's not reposting after getting flagged, he is reposting after deleting the ad himself. The point was that his ads cannot be flagged down.

Sam's club had 6 wii fits at 12:52 PM PST. Sold out instantly. I don't understand why they would sell 6 wii fits. That's quite little.

I know some people buying it from ebay for more than 350 ...so that's what intrigued me to this idea ...
i am planning to start with a higher price i think :)

In this case, the guy is selling the same product in different areas. To me, this could be considered spam/over post. But if he was willing to go meet buyers in these areas then I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I really don't know. It's the grey area. For this one, to flag or not to flag is all subjective. If I were him I would be more subtle.

What's the secret? How come every time i post, i get flagged while spammers never do?

just to give you guys an update. I emailed my buddies and ten of them already flagged it for me. Someone suggested that 3 flags will bring it down. I can confirm these ads have been flagged at least 11 times and it ain't going down. Thought you guys might want to know that there is a secret to not getting flagged. i just need to find out what it is.

Update:
I stand corrected, i just an email from a friend that he got one of them to go down. he was #15 on email replies. this is interesting. thanx for testing this for me guys for those that flagged. it just doesn't make any sense though. i am sure there is something going on with what he's doing because my ad goes down instantly when they post.

now sams is just screwing with me. Now that I finally have an account, and I loaded in CC info at the last alert...it pops up and isnt even available by the time the window opens.

sitting on 20 right now =) i'm more than ready. been getting a lot of calls @ 140 lately. maybe I should up it to 150 soon.

Nice! I only have 5 left. It has been selling at $140 steadily. I am content with setting the price @ $140. I see someone setting the price @ $125 in my area, but to each of his own. After I run out of my Wii Fit stock this time I think I will be done with selling Wii products for a while.

I have shipped several wii's that way and never had any problems. I actually prefer using that size box because it saves a lot of time finding packing materials.

Do most people here have a Paypal debit card? Are there any disadvantages to getting one?

FInally got a bite on CL..sold one for 135..i guess we dont have many " want to work out soccer moms" around here

Do most people here have a Paypal debit card? Are there any disadvantages to getting one?

I've had one for a couple years and have not seen any disadvantages. One of the advantages is the 1% cash back program, where you get cash back in your account almost immediately - usually a day or two after purchase. Many credit cards have cash back, but I haven't seen many debit cards that offer it. I received over $600 back last year, mostly on Wii purchases.

You have to sign up for the cash back program, and there are some requirements - one I think is you need to have at least one listing on ebay every 3 weeks, and list PayPal as a payment option in your ebay listings.

Lol who on earth would buy an xmas present in June.

Had my first royal screwing by best match tonight....with 23 minutes to go, was buried on page 24. Same auction listing that I've sold several wii's with in the past 2 weeks. Always land on front page. Not tonight. No help from the Live Help gal, either.

Lol who on earth would buy an xmas present in June.

I heard of someone buying 3 Wiis last summer for almost $400 a piece for Christmas presents. Overpaid at the time, but hey, the market price of Wiis were around $500 after Thanksgiving.

Agreed June is a little early but I've had it happen before.

Shes better off buying now, than come November with the way this shortage is playing out.

Although, she has over 5 months to try and find it at retail.

Well .. if it was me I would tell that the warranty is just what it is :).. and they need to test it to make sure it works or otherwise take the risk because you can only honor to replace if it does not work on arrival (well the replace due to broken on arrival is my own policy but whatever you are willing to do should be fine), you never know if it really won't be opened till xmast... another aproach could be .. buy now, pay now, shipping will be on xmast :).. then you just keep one on the side (that you keep replacing over time), at that time for him/her.

According to speedy, no wii or fits at BB this Sunday.

Scam? He's sold 5 or 6 others as well. I'd do it, but I don't feel like going through the hassle of getting my money back.


That looks to good to be true. Thinking about pulling the trigger though. You are protected through Paypal.

it says "up to $200 buyer protection" on the bottom of the auction.

Thanks for the heads up. I never read the fine print!

I am grabbing up that metal gear bundle!!! YAYAYA

If anyone wants to do some BINs for WiiFit or the Wiis let me know I have four of each. I can throw in some other games and things if you want.

Yep, probably because of their low feedback score.. Roll the dice...

Keep us updated. I messaged him and told him it looked to good to be true. He said it was some sort of special. Dont know if I buy that.

As long as it is a nigerian special, I am in for 1!

Now Ive been frozen twice by ebay/paypal. If they dont make this seller go through the hoops of proving purchase, identification/shipping something is horribly wrong. I wouldnt touch this auction ever. No way.

I may just buy a GPS for myself with the last liveseller discount. There are a lot of bad ebay sellers. Im **almost** starting to realize why ebay is making it so tough on us.

all im finding is 10% again...anyone got a search term that yields better results.

Wait until tomorrow afternoon. It will probably be around 20% again.

It's back at 10% for everything.

Which GPS? I was about to pull the trigger on one today, but I was leaning towards the garmin nuvi 750... which you can get at sams for less than amazon, even with tax. I checked around on ebay, but with the 20% earlier today, I still couldn't find one priced good enough to ignore sams return policy.

tom tom are good also, the 720 i think

FYI - Multiple tru.com orders from Friday coming into stock tonight.. Guess they should be shipping soon..

congrats xi =)

How is it going up there? I found a Target that got Wii's today and sold them.. Was able to get 3.. Could have gotten more but there was plenty of competition.. Most of my competition down here seems to be everyone's 60+ year old parents!!

I dont know. I didnt like the cheapo versions that are featured in all the ads..but dont want to drop $400 either.

Is anyone else having problems with Target.com Wii Fit orders from June 19?

I ordered 4 and all of them "shipped" on June 20. However, only 1 was delivered and the other 3 tracking numbers only show billing info being received.

I'm still waiting on my target orders from May 29th..

They suck, big time. Altough they finally did ship the other day along with my orders from June 20th.

Best Match bull

Must be. Best Match hosed me last night.

Was at Target today (depressed city in central Indiana); electronic dept. lady admitted to having Fits in the back for Sunday, but she was hoping for more. They only had 4. Not sure how typical that is of other Targets.

there is a line right now at my TRU for fits

heh. I need to call mine and sneak out if they got'em

nothing at mine..dont know when..

there is a line right now at my TRU for fits

My Best Buy states that they have the wii fit on the Best Buy Site. Think I am going to head out there. Just a heads up for you all.

(with two friends) i was able to get 5 yesterday between two targets...no one seemed interested at both targets in the wii ;)

All My BBs show stock. We'll see.

me too, just called one and they said they don't have them. hmmm

no Fits at my TRU...they havent had them in forever

All My BBs show stock. We'll see.
Mine has been showing in stock since the end of last week...unless they are holding them for a Sunday ad, I am not sure. The day I got some a few weeks ago they had only gotten 3 in that day and had them in the back not even on the floor.

Any coupon deals from Best Buy or Target? My Wii Fit inventory that I got from Costco and Best Buy are running low again. I don't want to resell without any discount. Other listers on CLs are undercutting my Wii Fit price.

The Best Buy tracker is crap.

Cool.. I am seeing most stores finally sold out of consoles by yesterday afternoon and no restocks yet.. I took as many as I could.. I'll be checking others stores today (bb, costco, tru, etc) and will post back if I find any availability.. Have you had any luck with Fry's?

Fits or Consoles?

Trying my Sams now..will update in a minute

nope none at Sams here

All my Gamestops have Wiis. No Wii Fits to be found. I guess Im going to pick up some consoles.

I broke down and bought a Sam's membership yesterday. Can someone help me out? When 1 club in town gets an item (console or fit) will they all get them?

Because my experience at Costco is different with maybe 1 out of the 5 stores getting them in at a time.

Amazon today?

im not even hanging around the office for the noon amazon possibiity. I'll refresh my blackberry to try and sneak that in.

I've got a buyer from Alaska, who paid for the auction, but selected Free shipping :eek: and didn't choose the option for Alaska Shipping!

I sent out a Paypal invoice to him with the shipping price on it, but I don't get any responses at all. his email id is

www.collen_alma@yahoo.com


Emails to his id get bounced. I sent a message thru' eBay and there is no response for that.

I really don't want him to get mad that his items were not shipped and leave a negative.

I tried to contact him using "Contact Buyer information" link thru' eBay. Got a message saying only Registered or confirmed users' information can be given out!

Please advise.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Charge extra ( bc you are going to get charged extra) and I think USPS is the way to go that route
