Nintendo Wii preorder is TOMORROW! Friday the 13th!
In spirit of the PS3 preorder thread, I wanted to give you guys notice about Wii preorder tomorrow. Same process. EB Games/Gamestops will start taking preorders on first come first serve basis. Most of the places open at 10am. I plan to be there a little early to get my preorder in. A preorder will carry a downpayment of $50. Good luck. |

What is the profit margin on ordering one of these and selling them on eBay?

Re: Nintendo Wii preorder is TOMORROW! Friday the 13th!
It's unclear what the profit margin is. Chances are very good that there will be a shortage of these on opening day/week so there will be a premium. At worst, you can return it back to EB Games if you are not successful with selling it. It's a riskless proposition. (Aside from tying up $50 for a month) |

I think the shortages will be a much bigger problem for the PS 3, since its set to release only 400,000 compared to the Wii's 2 million. Lucky for me I have 2 PS 3 preorders [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img].
Anyways, what time are all of you planning to get in line for the Wii? My friend is gonna be in line at 4 a.m., but I can't join him. Another friend of mine has offered to go get me one, but he's not into waiting for more than a half an hour, so like 9:30. I think he'll be able to get one fine, and if not, i'll be waiting at best buy the day before it comes out. |

No, screw that. I'm working on last minute casino bonuses right now. I'll be there at 930am. I got my PS3 preorder and I showed up at my local place at 1030 - 30 min after opening - so I'm lucky. |

Are you sure this thing is going to sell out? I thought there was an abundance of them.

Got mine!
They had 16 and had to turn people away The ones down the street also sold out (we have 3 within 5 miles of each other) I got Wii, extra wiimote/nunchucka, zelda, rayman, monkey ball I'm starting to think i shoulda reserved a bunch of extra wiimotes as they will likely not ship many extra and could make money on ebay after launch from those who wanna multi-player |

Re: Nintendo Wii preorder is TOMORROW! Friday the 13th!
Got mine. Got there at 930 and there were 3 people in front of me. By 10:10, the manager had to turn some people away. I got the system, and extra nunchuck/remote controllers. I did not get any games. With both this system and PS3, I am not sure whether to get games or not. I guess I'm going for the high end market, and they probably want some games included. Not sure which to get though... I would like to pitch my auction to the European market. Potentially a lot more profit, because we are getting the systems 3 weeks before they are. |
