    Having followed this thread on and off for months, but expecially the recent explosion, I am really intruiged.Like Elmo, it seems to have descended to the familiar MSE "grabbit before other MSEers and put them on ebay". Less "consumer revenge", more profiteering.Intesting ratio between potential genuine purchasers and posters with other agendas is interesting. So many people seems to have "already got a few" but "need another one for a freind". Hmmmm !I wonder if anyone is going to be honest. I'd love to know if anyone is prepared to dispassionately explain the economics of this whole exercise ? I'm just so intruiged! Like how much profit is actually in this after all the effort and ebay fees?For example poster ' hopefulfooluk ' intruiges me. To drive from Oxford to France just to buy Wiis (several times apparently), yet in an exchange with another poster stated " every quarter (I give), HMCE's VAT more than I could ever imagine earning selling Wii's over a whole year. "If, in their other life, they are making so much money that they have to give loads to the VAT, why the hell would they indulge in such an escapade, unless they are being coy about how much is to be made here. (Not picking on you in particular by the way, just extremely intrigued that on one hand you go to all this effort, and on the other claim that it is not really profiable!?)Anybody have the cahones to be honest ?
