I'm interested in seeing what their reply is... hopefully they won't just cancel my Wii. You never know they might have a change of heart and offer us all £20 back... unlikely but possible!

Let us know if they do - we can all get in on the action!![/quote]

I will be in a good position as I am waiting on the delivery van, so hopefully it has the game in it. I have just ordered 1 for £199 for JOANNE (yippee), so if its the same, I will contact them, but I bet there reply is they should have been £199 in the first place or something like that.

0.01p? No way. That's far too optimistic! You'd have to pay to get rid of it. Blue Peter Disc Drive appeal anyone? Or would that be too mean on them?

Why? Its supply and demand, every product you use has a price and a profit.

If your time is valuable, paying a bit over the odds but saving several hours is a good deal.

If your buying on eBay at any price purely becuase your kid *has* to have a Wii for Christmas and will scream and sulk unless it gets one, then maybe paying the inflated price will encourage better parenting skills in future

I agree that while noone wants to disappoint a child at Christmas, a lot of the commercialism around Christmas has got out of hand. Although I don't have children myself, I can empathise that this can be a majorly stressful time of year for parents.

Yes, time is precious, but there wouldn't have been so many people trawling around looking for wiis if Ebayers had not bought them with the single intention of exploiting anxious parents who are only trying to do their best and do not want to disappoint their child. At present there are over 6000 wii consoles on Ebay.
