It would only work with games bought in US, not with UK games.

Well it would work (with a plug adapter) but you'd only be able to play US games as the Wii is region-locked.

If you are looking at Ebay try to find one local to you then you can pick it up - dodgy sellers don't tend to offer collection and it will save you postage.

OTOH Dodgy buyers can pay through Paypal pick-up and claim they never received the item.

Just ordered one from e2save.com for £247.00

Yep, as a seller (not of Wiis) it is always paypal and delivered or cash on collection.

Very good advice, as a seller, unless you can prove you posted out to a confirmed address you are not covered by Paypal's Sell Protection Policy. I would say there's a lot of legitimate seller's who won't offer collection for this very reason.

I've been trying to get my wii through amazon.fr and amazon.de as its been suggested you can do this but neither are letting me put a UK address down on the order. Am I doing anything wrong or have they recently stopped allowing wii consoles abroad?
