Here is the deal. The UK is in SERIOUS shortage of Wii's, and the demand is AWESOME! (seems that Wii's are more popular in the UK compared to the rest of the EU), a coupple of colleagues (UK) are buying them "CHEAP" here in Germany and when they go back on the weekends, sell them in the UK for about 100Euro proffit!

UK Wii price on Ebay is around 200-300 Pounds
they are around 240 EURO!!!!! in Germany....go figure.

One guy does about 100Euro profit per sold Wii...he sold 6 so far
If you check out the Inet, there is a "company" that sells 1 per fracking H! on Ebay.co.uk
NO JOKE!

uk demand is huge i luckily managed to get one from argos a few weeks back by using there reserve online thingy
the smart option is to order one from europe instead of paying huge ebay prices

Exactly!!!!, but ALOT of peeps in the UK never thought of that...One of the guys at work cranked 2 more today. As he lives in the UK he will basically bring the Wii's back with him on the weekend and sell from hes house, no Pay pal or shipping etc, he will get cash. Hes plan is to sell 6 or 7. He already got enough profit to get a Wii for free, its for hes daughter.
