Thanks, I got 5

I only ordered 5 because I have buyers waiting. I'm only making £625 in total profit from selling all 5. It'll hardly pay for a holiday to the West Indies. Infact it'll barely cover the drinks bill on New Years eve.

I placed two separate orders - 1 for my brother and 1 for me then stupidly treid to combine them after. I had ordered them seperately as I was worried if they only had 1 then I wouldnt get my order accepted for 2. Anyway my first delivery was for 22/23rd but now they have changed it after combining to 28/29th. Am hacked off as told my brother I got him one and unless I hear differently from Amazon today will have to tell him it isnt coming in time now. Have emailed Amazon but dont hold out much hope they will revert to previous times so will probably cancel my brothers tonight (Might keep mine going as its for my other half so he will probably understand - will check with him first) as its not much use after xmas. Cant believe I forgot that other people have fallen into this trap!!

The dates do change I got mine a good few days before the estimate. As noboby has been able to buy since you combined the order they must still be allocated to you. I did see on a previous post that people changing delivery option got a far away date and then the date got earlier again. It may be worth calling amazon to make sure, but I would think you will be ok for a pre-christmas delivery. I choose first class when I ordered on launch day and it was sent parcelforce 24 and delivered on the Monday.

I wouldn't cancel your brothers as long as the order is shipped by the end of Thursday you should get it on Friday. Assuming you have either first class or express delivery.

I think the fact that there are currently ove 2000 Wiis for sale on eBay shows where much of the initial stock has gone. Like it or not, eBay gives everybody the opportunity to be an overnight entrepreneur/capitalist.
But these are games consoles, not oxygen. Nobody really needs one and it's really not worth getting hot under the collar about the grey market trading.

fair enough if you have buyers waiting, but 625 will do a lot good to many people who very much needed it, just remember how many people cant even afford to have a proper xmas. also some people may have try so hard to save up the money for wii but they are all gone apart from the overpriced consoles on ebay.

just my view on this...

Ones it says preparing for dispatch the next change will probably be tonight after ten saying dispatched.
If you ordered express they probably pick these orders lsightly differently so may be why it is still open, id be very suprised if amazon did not deliver these items intime for xmas!

LOL only £650 not bad for doing nothing much, may not pay for a holiday to west indies, but probably xmas and then some!
LOL and I suspect you are trying to rub a few peoples nose in that by even stating what you made!

Also if amazon hadnt have sold these, how on earth were you going to meet these people orders, who already have probably paid you!
CHancer comes to mind

Related to Wii...if I want to play 2 player on this, do I just need another remote (e.g. get wiiplay) or do i also need the Nunchuck to go with it? Bear with me...getting to grips with the Nintendo bits!
