This really grips my shit; predictably there are no Wiis in stock anywhere, but you can already buy them second hand for up to £500. People buy the things, leaving less for people who want them, so that when they're all sold out they can profit from it. It's exactly like touting tickets and if I had my way I'd make it illegal. Bastards.

Retail is £180. Which I have, but no fucker has any to sell me.

Re: Profiteering bastards
Unfortunately basic economics dictates that the retail price of Wiis should just be a lot higher. While yeah it sucks to have to pay more than double the retail cost, it's not surprising.Dog Pants wrote:This really grips my shit; predictably there are no Wiis in stock anywhere, but you can already buy them second hand for up to £500.
