Can't figure out what's more sick.

That these things are selling like this.

Or that the people buying them up like this have no idea what they're buying.

No idea what they're buying. Whatchoo talkin' 'bout? Are you implying that people who pay four hundred bucks on eBay think they've just bought a weirdly named doughnut?

I think he means the people buying them up in stores to sell on Ebay. They just know it sells for more than retail but nothing else.

I actually meant the people buying them not for resale. I'd expect a good chunk of the Wii's being bought right now are as gifts. Probably being given by people who have no idea what they're buying/giving - did the people they are buying them for even ask for them, or are people just buying them as a video game system that's ostensibly dirt cheap compared to the other consoles - and must surely be the 'best', given the huge demand? Just kind of odd to consider.
