The best thing to do is find some for sale on ebay local to you. (You can search via your postcode), email them and arrange to pick up at a reduced price cutting out ebay. :)

As I understand it Amazon Germany & Amazon France are not sending Wii's to the UK anymore.

Think you may be struggling.

Guy I know went a cheap flight to Krakow and bought 3 there - paid for his weekend away + a bit of profit.

they are going a bit cheaper on ebay than they were last week, from the uk brand new unopened seem to be about £260 generally and they were routinely hitting £320 a week ago.

I've just ordered a mobile phone upgrade and apparently get a free Wii with it.  Says it'll be here in a couple of weeks, but I'm not holding my breath to be honest.  If it does turn up I'll PM you to see if you've got it sorted yet - if not you can have it at RRP.

Lots of phone companies are doing it when you sign up for a bill phone.  Here's a link I found that lists all of them:

The problem with many of the game consoles retailers dont know what stock they are going to get day to day, I got mine some time ago but ringing "Game" and "GameStation" everyday at 09:00am. A pain but I did get it!

Just tried to order from here and it is saying "This recipient is currently unable to receive any money" or such like message.   

Sam was going to order one from ebay Germany, hope it's not too late to still get one.

Get an older Wii off ebay. The older ones (over 3months old) can be modded more easily. The slightly increased cost of buying one off ebay will soon be saved  ;whistle;

Every year its the same...last year my son wanted a Wi and I was fortunate to get one having preordered from Woolies and it came on time. I know loads of his friends were disappointed but for this to be going on after a year is ridiculous.
His cousin wanted one for his birthday back in October and my sis had to buy it on ebay paying over the top to a local dealer save on postage as all the shops were out of stock.

This year my daughter has a B Chic Manicure set which is advertised on TV at the top of her list, my niece wants one too so I said I would buy them both. It cant be found ANYWHERE and its currently selling on ebay for about 3 times the price as a rare item gggrrrrrrrrrr.

I have just paid £29 for a wrestling figure that my son wants desperate that I know retails at £8.99

Is it worth going onto some computer/console forums and asking if anyone has one they want to sell? If anything, they might at least point you in the direction of a shop or online company that has them in stock.

That's where I found the links I've already posted here.  Unfortunately, they want them too and since they're better informed, tend to nab the few before the rest of us have a chance.

You wouldn't make £150, maybe you'd make £50-70 (for just the console no extra controllers or games - games would actually devalue selling with the console).

Some shops and websites are charging £150 more and getting it but for the individual with a 2nd hand Wii then nope. Although if it's old enough (nintendo changed internal design about 3-4months ago) it can be modded more easily and is actually worth a little more again.

OK..I have no idea what that meant..(other than you ain't getting the dosh for it :) )..like I said..can't and won't selll it anyway as my wife would kill me..and that would be a bad thing for me.
