    You have 18 days left to buy a Wii.

    This is my guide to buying one from ebay

    Wii supply is there, and prices have dropped.

    Well you are right that the supply is there - over 9,000 items listed now versus 6,000 a few months ago. But the average price is still going up. roughly £275 is the average for a Wii delivered. This is because demand still far exceeds supply in the run up to Christmas.

    I can tell you that sellers are bidding their own Wii's up. The 25th is getting near for them also, and they don't want to be left with stock!
    Probably, but it doesnt change the fact that its up to buyers what to bid. They set the market price. the shortage will continue well into the new year so no one is worried about selling up by Xmas.

    The best time to buy is Friday evening, and all day Saturday and Sunday, as that's when the prices seem to drop.
    Actually thats when by far the most bidders are around so probably the worst time to look for a bargain.

    I've been aware of the real ebay prices since October. If you buy on the days I've said you should pay no more than £210.
    And the moon is made of blue cheese.

    Special delivery costs £19.45 on these, and that's without the packaging!, so don't be surprised to pay £25 for P&P

    And a next day courier costs about £5. But still dont be surprised to pay £25.

    im still trying to get one, a £179 deal. anyone know if amazon, argos or john lewis will get anymore online to order tonight?

    you can't get the £179 deal via argos online. the staff in our local store are really helpful and have said more deliveries due and can reserve by phone or in store from 9th.
