- betona, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31Nice compilation idea. I don't know why it bothers to check eBay--we all know they're there for way over retail price.
- ktchpmn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24Wii only available on eBay? tell me something i don't know.
- CornMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Someone needs to create a real-time inventory for the wiimote and nunchuck!!!!
- cwiz7, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18There are other websites for that...
- abohling, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15*sigh*
I feel like I'm 8 years old again being told I can't have an NES. Damn you Nintendo, damn you!
Hold me. - Submerge, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Just to help anyone that is looking for a Wii around there physical location.
http://ps3seeker.com/wii helps locate Wii's within a ZIP code area. If you're interested in searching around stores like Walmart, Best Buy, ect. that aren't online. I found it interesting at least, my Best Buy has a couple in stock still. - cyclonesworld, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11The reason they have a link to ebay is because they get paid for referring people to ebay.
- Taedirk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Too bad it'll look about the same
[Ebay] Available
[Everywhere Else] Sold Out - OpCzar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Err, this isn't helping and it's not like he's getting brick and mortar store stock...
- mdoom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I agree...i got my system at launch...but have been having problems since then just finding a darn second controller!
Would be very useful for Ultimate Alliance - hackajar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6And why is Wii's official reseller not on the list? (Toy's R Us)
- jwstaton, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I frickin hate Ebay...
- Xeth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6This would be a great feature for Froogle to have...(I mean an inventory tracker for an arbitrary product). Get to work, Google!
- yoda133113, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Wow, imagine capitalism at work, they provide a service and want to get paid for it. Their service tell you where to get a Wii, the pay, ads, quit complaining if it wasn't for the ads, this wouldn't be here, and frankly MANY of us like it.
- bunni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Anyone else notice the large amounts of affiliate marketing/spam making it onto digg?
- ohmuffin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4i cant find any of those anywhere, the nunchuck in particular
- Xeth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No, those bots don't have web interfaces, they just place orders as fast a possible :)
- redmaxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What would be nice to see is one of these sites keep track of when they go in stock, so we can know if there is a pattern to it or not.
- Chongo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3So is this how people get the Random Bag o' crap from woot?
- Soniti, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Everytime I go to a store I see the nunchuck, wiimote, and even the classic controller in full stock...
In fact I own both the nunchuck and a wiimote but not a wii...
Should I start to sell them on ebay? would you guys buy?"
In the words of the greatest Nintendo geek ever: HEEEELLLLLLLL NAWW
~Soniti - mercano, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I just found one at the MSRP through Froogle. It hits allot of small sites that the big wii trackers don't hit.
http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=wii&btnG=Search+Froogle&lmode=online&scoring=p&lnk=pruser&price1=240.00&price2=260&btnP=Go - BRODEL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Not like I'm going to pay $6.50 to get alerts either.
- tripm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2the 6kidsandastore place has a bunch of complaints against it for big ticket items not being sent and/or refunds not being posted - so use caution. http://auctions.yahoo.com/show/rating?userID=sixkidsandastore
- oblongmouth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why does every link open a new window in the same site?
V.Annoying. - Maddcovv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Got mine off craigslist, called drove down the street had it in 30 min.
- yoda133113, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's on the site, it has a Wii Remote Tracker.
- drlha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have the opposite problem. Got a nunchuck and controller, but no Wii.
- r2700, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wish http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcat17006&type=page&sourceId=1566092&sourceType=product&skuId=8008559&productId=1566092&itemId=962984 was more accurate
- tripm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope these are legitimate
- anybody99, on 10/10/2008, -0/+0This is a good list, but if you are somehow from Canada, you can also check http://www.buywii.ca/ and see cheaper prices.
- mary7979, on 11/13/2007, -0/+0Wholeheartedly second that. I got 2 Wiis from Amazon 3 days after signing up for alerts with this site.
My kids and my sister's kids couldn't be happier. They've been wanting these for so long! - imjackwhoareu, on 11/12/2007, -0/+0In my Wii hunting ordeal, I tried a few different trackers, but the one that was the best was http://wiialerts.com . These guys send you free cellphone & Email alerts when Wiis come in stock at online stores. I signed up and was able to get 3 Wiis for myself and friends in a week. I can't believe I ran around stores before knowing about this site.
- WOTEugene, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1That site is just pure marketing. Thumbs down.
- WOTEugene, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1True, but at least it does more than provide affiliate links... the gotta pay the server bills somehow I suppose. And it actually looks like the developers put some real work into it as opposed to just throwing up a farm of affiliate ads.
- altosaxon, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5Everytime I go to a store I see the nunchuck, wiimote, and even the classic controller in full stock...
In fact I own both the nunchuck and a wiimote but not a wii...
Should I start to sell them on ebay? would you guys buy? - cwiz7, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3You can buy anything on eBay...
- Argon52, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Totally agree! Amen! That would rock!
- r2700, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I like the content on PS3 Seeker / Wii Seeker for local stuff, and it's supported by affiliate ads... should that get a thumbs down too? =)
- wafermouse, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Real-time... weapon change?
- refreshingmedia, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Ebay is not the only one with Wii's and PS3's. Also check your local craigslist or [plug] www.consoleconnector.com [/plug] classifieds.
- TroubleT, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3Good luck kids!
I got lucky the day after launch. Zelda freaking rules. - gamedigger, on 10/12/2007, -8/+0Better setup at http://www.nintendofinder.com and http://www.playstationfinder.com - have it set up to page your phone within a couple seconds of a unit showing up in stock. Not like I'm gonna sit around and stare at a website all day waiting for a box to turn green.
