I fully agree with you.
I run a forum that's specifically for sharing information about bargains.
Joining is by invite only, and fully private.
Anyone caught posting details to this board, or Hotdeals is instantly thrown off the forum. The same goes for anyone caught buying to resell on eBay.
This section of MSE used to be good - but it's now inhabited by to many gready cretins who're out purely to line their own pockets. :mad:
Greedy cretins is a very nasty term to use. I am one of the people selling Wii's that I've bought from Germany. I stumbled across the information when I was searching for a Wii for myself and thought that it was a good way to make a little extra money at a time when, due to no fault of my own, I have suddenly to pay 2 mortgages and am having to put myself into debt to do so. This site is about money saving and debt is a bad thing so spending some extra time working at buying and selling hardly makes me a greedy cretin.
TRADING is a very old concept - as is supply and demand. It isn't hard to do a bit of online searching and find out about buying a wii from Germany BUT there are still people who are willing to pay inflated prices on Ebay - more fool them. I start all my auctions at 99p with no reserve so they are paying WHAT THEY ARE WILLING TO. I have sold as low as 215 (bearing in mind I'm paying about 15 quid fees on that) and as high as 270. I have so far made enough to cover one of those extra mortgage payments and put off taking out a loan.
Oh in case you are wondering how I can be this broke and still buy Wii's. I AM a money saver and I have been using my Stooze pot - which I can use in the short term to buy Wii's as I sell them immediately and replace the money. To use it in the long term to cover these additional payments would be financial suicide if I didnt' then have the money to pay back the cards.
On one point I agree with you. This section of MSE used to be good - until you and your nasty ilk came along and started throwing around insults like sulky teenagers.The best things in life are NOT free - but they sure are cheaper with MSE!:j0 -
Then surely this website should be renamed money making expert and not money saving expert?0

I just wanted to express my thanks for all the advice I have read, I have managed to get my self a Wii on Amazon.de.
Can anyone tell me what amp fuse a UK edition Wii uses?, I am buying a Euro to UK converter plug and the company gives the choice of which amp fuse to order with it.0 -

Unfortunately all you have done is given me the specification for a Euro to UK plug from one specific supplier.
The supplier I was going to buy from gives me the option of selecting from various ampage fuses, I was asking what amp fuse comes with a UK Nintendo Wii.0 -
