So I'm supposed to get a kid a wii for xhristmas. I just found out that they're this year's hot toy. Best Buy has them out-of-stock for $250. Amazon is charging over $77. I never did this before; I just wait until the supply meets the demand. Is there some secret trick all you shoppers know to avoid paying double price for a trendy object?Edit: Amazon charges over $700

try some of the locatorshttp://postmanposteth.blogspot.com/2007/12/get-wii-for-holidays.html

chance. i was looking for a month over the summer and finally found one. since then i have seen 2.

There is no trick. It's all luck at this point. I found one on December 21st last year at a Toys R Us. It was all over the web that they were getting shipments on the 22nd, but they weren't. You are at the mercy of blind luck. There will once again be many kids wanting but not getting a Wii this year!

249.99Toysrus get shipments every sunday morning. they get sold out very fast. Also try and use wiitracker.com i went to toysrus and they had sold around 30 wiis in 10 mins.

I got mine @ bestbuy and it was 500 some dollars for it but it was a pick out 3 games and an accessory bundle

Hiya, Most stores are out.I had the same problem so I created a website for people wanting WII's. The site is http://www.Wii22.com The sites not perfect but its the only place to get one, from a trusted place. Nellhttp://www.Wii22.com
