FOR SALE: Wii Fit *brand new* [SOLD]

Well we've fucked up and it turns out in our family we've ended up buying 2 Wii Fits for the same person.
We now have a Wii Fit brand new, never opened/used, that we are looking to sell.
It cost £85 and is from Amazon Germany. The box is in English and I think the instruction manual will just have sections for each language like most electronics.
I am going to put it on eBay soon, and they are about £88.85 + £26.99 shipping on there.
If any 5punker wants it then it is just £82 plus whatever it costs to send it recorded/insured delivery to you.
Delivery: UK Mainland £8-10, Belgium £18ish.
The reason I am putting this on here is because I know how hard they are to get hold of, and we might be able to do each other a favour.
On Friday I will eBay it.

i'm incredibly tempted, me and the missus would really like one, but she's not home right now so i can't call her.
i'll give her a ring tomorrow and see what she says.
Do you have any idea what it would cost to have it shipped to belgium?

The box weight is 5kg (exactly, so it might be slightly over 5kg when they weigh it)
UK:
It would cost £9.35 + £1.00 for £100 insurance = £10.35 (say £10)
Belgium:
For Belgium it looks to be somewhere between £40 and £45 using Royal Mail's Global Priority (ouchy!)
I've been told it cost £82 not £85, I'll adjust top post.

Indeedy.
If anyone knows anywhere cheaper I'll happily arrange it for Mr J. That was the cheapest I found. I don't send parcels abroad so perhaps I'm missing a trick?

oof!
we'll, i'll leave this to you guys fatties then, the extra shipping costs would mean i'd end up paying more than a wii fit that is bought here.

Private companies like to undercut as far as they can, places like
interparcel or
parcel machine are far cheaper.

that's looking alot better right there.
£15-18 agreeds alot more with my budget.
but it's up to you fear, if you don't want to go through the hassle of booking a parcel service i can respect that.
i still need the missus's go as well.

Yeah I was definitely missing a trick.
Looks like UK is between £8 and £10 (once you've added VAT)
Belgium about £18 - £20 once you've added VAT.

No hassle.
DHL Europlus looks good at £15 + VAT = £17.25, delivery 2 to 5 working days. Might be another quid to insure it at it's full value.

but like i said, i'm still waiting for a definitive thumbs up, so if anyone makes you a better offer you shouldn't wait for me.

just got off the phone with the missus and she's pretty broke right now,
and in retrospect it would be a better idea to wait a bit till i've got more money myself.
Looks like someone else will be getting a wii fit this christmas.
but thanks for looking it up fear.

*Sticks hand up*
I work for a parcel company, I could perhaps arrange some free shipping to Belgium, as long as you can get it to me (Chesterfield). Wait for me to get home (11pm-ish) and I will look into it.
Edit: Or not, perhaps, having read the rest of the thread
If you still want me to see, let me know.
