Personally if someone thinks there christmas is going to be ruined just because they couldnt get the spouse/child etc etc a wii then thats a sad family indeed.
p.s. still refreshing JL ;op

Do you have kids?
Did you ever really want something as a kid?
Every parent wants to give their kid a magical Christmas - in truth the parent is likely to be more dissapointed i suspect.

A fair point you make though.

Just checked the status of my HMV order and it says 'Open Order' - when I click through to see what that means, it says:

"Item to be ordered from supplier"

Look like they didn't actually have any in stock!

People are doing that as no matter how popular this website/forum is, not everyone knows about it.

Not everyone knows about the stock checker websites.

They see them sold out and they see them on ebay so they buy.

Stock is becoming more and more available so it is getting easier to find a Wii @ rrp.

If you were doing the service for free, you would really be helping people and I would have no problem with that, but as you are charging a fee which is not in the christmas spirit and your helping people to help you.

Tell you what, if you have three days to spare to drive over to France, let me know and I can reduce the cost of getting these Wiis =0)

I'm a regular poster here, but new ID so I don't get too slated:p

I just want to comment on some posters here who think that Ebayers are the scum of the earth for ripping people off selling at inflated prices.
Let's get a few things straight.

Shops are happy to sell at very inflated prices:mad: , normally bundling unwanted/out of date games with the Wii. Dixons sold 600 over priced bundles the other morning. It's choice, you either pay or not.

It's all about supply and demand, people will pay what they want to pay.
Yes I have sold a few on Ebay, in fact the number stands currently at slightly over 50, all obtained except 1 from UK retail outlets. I have put effort into getting them, once spending 3.5 hours driving to/from a shop that had stock.
It doesn't matter what I've sold them for but to be honest I've been amazed at some of the buyers.

A young lad whose Mum loaned him £70 so he could buy one without waiting until he could get stock, not my fault the lad is spoilt and has the inability to wait until stock is readily available.:rolleyes:

Another was for a Mum who had two kids, she proudly told me she needed it for Christmas and already had one for her daughter, and now need one for her son! I did feel like suggesting she keep her money and perhaps suggest to them that they share?

I get angry with people suggesting that Ebayers will ruin a childs christmas because they don't get a Wii. Anyone with kids will know to do their christmas shopping early to ensure you get everything you need. It's not my fault you don't forward plan

hear hear !!!!

This happened to me a couple of weeks ago and HMV delivered mine on Monday even contacted me to apoligiese and make sure my card was correct so I wouldn't lose it if my details were wrong.

The annoyance is this site is set up to help the people - its a kind of voluntary board with the consumers helping each other out - if people are stoopid enough to brag about using this site to make profits off others then its hardly surprising they will get flack and they should expect it really
Best keep it quiet - or start a new log in on a hotmail account and call yourself the Mrs lol
