Hi.
I finally managed to get myself a Wii sports bundle after a few weeks of searching. I found that searching websites and ebay never really helped much but doing the good old fashioned phoning round did. This site is a compilation of actual physical shops which have them in stock that you can go to. Although some websites do pop up there if i think they're reliable enough. I will be posting bundles, prices and contact details for stores so you can phone up and reserve the elusive Wii.
Keep an eye on the site as It's manually been updated every day. You may see a shop near to you on there.

personally i found the stock checkers site useless
i set up the main stores in my favs and checked them all off one by one myself when i had the chance due to working.
in the end got mine through this site from argos
good luck in finding oneIf You See Someone Without A Smile......Give Them One Of Yours0 -

Not posted for long time so hi all
Looks like i got a wii from wilkinsonplus this morning i got 3 emails
1. Registration Confirmation
2..Thank you for placing an order with Wilkinson Plus. Your Order number is
3..Order Confirmation
Nintendo Wii Console
£169.99 ..........
they didn't send me order confirmation (3rd email), but my account status says "ready to deliver". hmmmm....
it's my first time to shop at wilkinsons. if they fulfill my order, i'll be one of their regulars now. look at their price £169.99, below rrp!!! very honourable company imo, not taking advantage of the situation. their stock checker seemed sorted now too.

Selling 30 x @ atleast £250 = £7,500
Buying 30 x @ £179.99 = £5,399
Profit £2,101 every weekend, of course their not bothered lol.
Your figures are very flawed, friend. They do not consider:
1/ Getting to France:
min of £54 for EuroTunnel return
Fuel depending on where he lives could amount to £50-£60 or more.
2/ Selling:
On a £250 sale, ebay will take approximately £30 (listing, final value & paypal fees). Admittedly he may sell some privately i.e. away from Ebay but would struggle to sell other than a small percentage this way.
He is also having to put up 30x €250 = £5400 of his own money which, in the event of a sudden supply-flood by Nintendo (& price collapse) could mean he is lumbered with a load of Wiis that no-one will buy from him. So it is technically a little bit of a gamble.
He is obviously making money, but a/ it's not as much as you think and b/ he is doing the leg-work and taking the risk to do so.0
