Re: For Sale: Nintendo Wii Console

See if you have a Computer Exchange (Cex) near you they will take consoles, games etc and give you cash for it depending on what it is and how old etc, they tend to be the best price as they work on very low margins.

Also they won't be charging you any fees like Ebay, if you go via the Ebay route I would expect 5% - 10% commission to them depending if you take paypal or not.

I also have a brand new Wii to sell as an unwanted competition prize and I am expecting £120 - 140 for a quick sale, I am not sure if you can get as much as the £180 you are asking as you are selling it 2nd hand and I doubt that nintendo will transfer the warrenty over to the new owner and that will hurt the resale price.

Re: For Sale: Nintendo Wii Console

The girlfriends now after a Wii but I'm not sure if she would buy a 2nd hand one at that price.

I only paid £170 for my Wii Sports bundle, 2nd controller was £30 with Wii Play game CD included. Whats the lowest you would take? PM me and I'll put it to her.

Re: For Sale: Nintendo Wii Console

£180 is a bit expensive for a 2nd hand one
