GAME & Gamestation stores are offering £120 in cash when you trade in your old Nintendo Wii until Mon 21 Sept. Better deal than their normal trade-ins that require you to take the money in store vouchers, it’s also good compared to normal second-hand Wii prices on eBay, although for top prices you’re still better off selling directly. eBay prices range from £90 to £150 depending on quality and demand.

Trade-ins must be must be complete, in working order and of satisfactory quality. They needn't be boxed. Imported consoles are excluded from the offer. Game also require you to take in two forms of ID when you trade-in: this means at least one photo ID and a form of ID with your current address on.

Back to the original post....

Saw this on another site.

Game are offering £120 if you trade in your Wii. Seems a pretty decent price to me if you're bored of it like me and can't be bothered with the hassle of ebay!

First post, hope it helps someone!

  • They only offered me £70 for a 6 month old Wii still with the guarantee. I ended up selling it for £130 in the local pages.

  • Yet again we have another 'wordsearch' puzzle.
    Did anyone get the answer - 'UPTO'
    Quite a common word to be missing from offers and services. Surely if they mean they will give 'upto' £120 they should say it and likewise if they don't mean 'Upto' they should give you £120 or nothing !

    That may be but the 1st post doesn't say 'up to'

    sounds like they know theres going to be another shortage this christmas, and are offering this deal to tempt you to trade in.i would hang on nearer time, or sell privately. if your trading in your console why would you want £120 of game vouchers? unless your going to buy something else, otherwise £120 is a lot to spend in such a specialised store.

    It's £120 in CASH not vouchers.

    It's hardly a "deal" though is it... you can get much more on eBay or in local papers... I would hang on to one until around Christmas when they will fetch higher prices!
  • Does it have to be boxed to get the £120?
