Two Wii Remote Controllers

I'll take the highest offer, but I'm looking for at least $375. I can deliver/meet tonight or sometime tomorrow (if it's not gone by then, I'll put it on Ebay). Cash only please.

Why would I accept $250 and lose money? I paid almost $270 with tax. I'm trying to recoup something for all the hours I spent in the rain Saturday night.

You don't really need to be shy and offer a semi-unbelievable reason of why you're selling it, it's ok if you're motive the whole time was selling it at a profit, it's not bad.......If you put it on Craigslist for 375, you'll have about 10 emails in the first hour, and 3 or 4 will probably show up at your door within that hour at $375. (PS- Expect the moral authority to jump this thread)

I'll admit that I'm trying to make some money (if I wasn't I could just return it to Best Buy), but I am telling the truth. It was not my original intention to resell. I did try posting on Craigslist, people are freaking out about Wii scalpers and flagging/removing posts. So every time I post the Wii it doesn't stay up for more than 5 minutes.

Then put your post up that you're "selling a Wii" and in the ad put "email me an offer" this way you're not listing it at an above face value and wait and see what someone(s) will offer...The Craigslist holier than thou crowd should do us all a favor and play in traffic, seriously, people worried about how other people spend their money and have the time to care lead very worthless lives. PS- I wouldn't admit to camping out if you're above the age of 12 if you're intention was to use it....
edit: I don't understand, I see about 10 ads for UNC basketball tickets all over face value, and I now see a bunch of ad's for these things at $400 that have been posted for hours???

I've tried listing them that way and they still get flagged down. The Craigslist crowd doesn't seem to like that either. And I have no problem admitting that I want to play the Wii. I camped out because I wanted to get the Wii before we go visit my younger cousins, whom I think will have a lot of fun over the holidays with the Wii.

I don't understand it either, but I've tried 6 times and they have all been flagged and removed.

well there's one on there right now for 500 that hasn't been flagged. I wasn't trying to be a tool, but come on, you really camped out to use it and not resell? If so, the market value of these things is right at 400, and you paid 270, so $130 to sit out in the cold rain for I'm guessing for 10 hours, so $13 an hour. They'll have a million in stores in 3 weeks, so if you really wanted it for you, you went to all that trouble to use it for 3 weeks??? I'm just suggesting that older folks with kids would gladly pay someone else $13/hour for 10 hours overnight in a winter rainstorm, now kids in grammar school, I can see them camping out since they'll play the Wii for 2 months straight without leaving the room. The PS3 thing was a different issue since those things were going above 2 grand for that one week, I'd camp my ass out to make 1400 bucks in a day

I can't believer there are people who are "flipping" Wiis. Hell, a vendor at work has done this with 3 of them this week and netted about a grand, so I guess it's not a terrible idea.

Yes, I really camped out to get a Wii. (I didn't stay the night, I just went a few hours early.) Anyways, I'll try Craigslist again since it doesn't seem like there's anyone that can make a serious offer here.

I will pay 10 bucks for gas + whatever the paid price on the receipt. You will also be getting 5 dollars in reward zone bucks for your purchase
