Arrgh, Gamestation courier lost ours (apparently ).

I have looked on Ebay and the prices are ridiculous, people are even selling Argos codes. Anything for a quick buck.

Please tell me if you have seen them in the shops as on-line selling of them has been stopped, because of shortage (there's a surprise )

FIMBO HAVE YOU TRIED ASDAS OR WOOLIES? I HAD BOOKED 1 FOR SAT FRM LOCAL WOOLIES FOR B/DAY PRESSIE BUT WENT TO 24 HOUR ASDAS INSTEAD BUT PEEPS WERE QUEUEING IN TWOS AND BUYING 1 EACH TO SELL ON EBAY NO DOUBT.

It shouldn't be allowed. People are asking anything up to £150 on Ebay plus postage.

Crazy.

Will try Asda. Thank you Salsmum

WHEN I BOUGHT THE WII FOR MY SON FOR XMAS I THINK THE ARGOS STAFF HAD BOUGHT THEM TO SELL COZ LOOKING AT THE RECEIPT IT WAS BROUGHT FROM ARGOS WHEN THEY HAD SOLD OUT

BexieID · 28/04/2008 22:57

Mario Kart is sold out as people are buying more than 1 to get the steering wheels!

Game, Zavvi, HMV all had Wii Fit in Glasgow on saturday.

Yes, it should be 1 per family.

BexieID · 28/04/2008 22:58

If it was staff, did the receipt show a discount?

Fimbo · 28/04/2008 22:59

There is one local to me on Ebay at the moment with no bids. Starting price is £69.99, I asked seller if I could pick it up if I won. She has emailed me back asking if I want to make her an offer on it.

Have told her I don't want to pay anymore than £69.99 as that is the retail price, we shall see.

Its like that £5 "I am not a plastic bag" fiasco all over again.

You're right Fimbo. I've asked my mum to get me it when the Tesco she works in has it back in stock. I'm a patient woman. Especially as I won't see her for another 3 months, lol. I will wait for Mario Kart as well. I will certainly not pay more than £34.99 for it!

sugaree · 28/04/2008 23:26

There were loads in Woolworths yesterday.

Fimbo · 28/04/2008 23:28

Thanks Bexie. I hate being ripped off!

Dh is in London until tomorrow, so he may be able to pick one up somewhere.

Yay! Dh went to HMV today and they went to check as they thought they were out of stock, the manager then came back with one and said my dh could have it as it was a pre-ordered one that should have been collected by yesterday.

Hurrah.

Oh and the Ebay person wanted more than £69.99!

Glad you got one. My mum has got first dibs on any that come into her Tesco, which after discount will only cost me £58.47 and i'll have 3 months to save for it, which is good especially as DP is being made redundant in 90 days. I would feel guilty buying it though, unless he manages to find a new job by then. I'll have to do some overtime.

I got Mario Kart in Argos yesterday (although I couldn't use my gift vouchers as their system was down ).

Fimbo · 30/04/2008 16:27

Sorry about your dp Bexie. What line of work is he in?

My friend won a local radio competion and the prize was £100 of prizes from Argos. The hassle she had over it all from Argos was unbelievable.

He works for Dell. If I didn't have a Mumsnet addiction i'd smash the PC .
