Remember when the Razor Scooters were the big hit?
Then the story about the dad who bought one for his kid, caught his kid smoking pot, so he sold it on E bay for $1.000 instead?

I've heard that rumor repeated about every fad item since.
Now its circulating again for the Wii, and the rare Wii Guitar hero game.

But this time it was supposedly sold on craigslist for $9.000 to a guy in Australia.

Well, our Wii just arrived and I easily found it Monday from a guy in Phoenix for $260 delivered,, and the software game for $115.

I checked Snopes and nothing yet, or I'm not checking snopes correctly.

Any takes?

we bought ours months ago before the Christmas rush,there were dozens on the shelf then :D:D:D
I've stayed skeptical about buying stuff off Ebay unless local enough to go pick up.

This guy even called the house to make sure we got it and we're happy with it.

I agree Ziggy.
I know a few people that buy/sell classic toys on Ebay and they have some bad stories.

My brother sells authentic 1940's /50's home decorations on e bay.
He does quite well.
Who'da thunk it?

Sorry, no matches were found containing wii.

We're sorry you didn't find what you were looking for. Please try again, this time basing your search on one or two words you deem central to the item you are looking for. Because many items circulate in numerous forms, often this slight shift in strategy will locate articles that a search on a specific string or title missed.
