    Sorry for the really off topic thread...but I just picked up a new Wii yesterday from Target...amazed I got one...since so many places are always sold out. Even other Target stores yesterday sold their entire shipment that day. I think I lucked out because the NE MPLS store was under construction so the electronics dept was split up between 2 areas of the store.

    Anyways...I may or may not be keeping it, as some other financial nonsense happened for me. I am just seeing if anyone potentially has interest, rather than me returning it to the store (if you have been trying to get your hands on one).

    It is still brand new, unopened. I also purchased Mario Kart for the Wii, and it comes with the steering wheel--also brand new and unopened.

    I paid like $325 or something with tax. unfortunately I won't take a loss, as I can just return it for full value...but again, if you have interest, let me know and I will tell ya if I keep it or not.

    well its on here now, i'm not going to re-post it just because it isn't in the right spot...

    I only care for responses of people that might be interested...

    forum police---there's no need to reply

    if Dumb-asses could figure out the simplistic practice of starting a NEW thread in the CORRECT forum then forum police wouldn't need to call it as it is...

    Good looking out BoBo. There have been so many dry spells with these things with the way Nintendo is distributing it. I remember trying to get one for 2-3 months then just giving up. Found one randomly and bought it... then the next day, talking to my coworker, I find out her boyfriend was selling his lol. Ended up returning the one I had just bought and picking up the new one.

    Nuke's just trying to help you out tho. You will get more visibility in the FS forum if you really want to help someone out who may have been looking for one for a while.

    well, its not actually for sale until I know if anyone is interested. it's in 'off topic'---what the hell is the big deal? you don't even know who I am... ease up on the people you don't know personally.

    Right on... you got set up then--they sure are hard to find in the store.

    If only everyone explained themselves on here like you just did...it might actually come across as a helping hand, rather than some d-bag trying to own the internet. Thanks.

    Considering you posted once in the midst of all of that nonsense...no.

    I'd rather not get into it anymore with others on this topic. I'm just here to meet people and help out. You're a good dude in my book, you came over and helped me with my CEL with your laptop and stuff. I'd like to keep things civil if at all possible. You could have said your piece a bit different, but I understand you were just trying to help out. Not everyone is a pro at these forums, and all ya can do is try..right. Apparently I am a noob.

    ha ha no your reactions were what set it off...

    its like blood in the water...

    I'd say post another thread or have the mods close this and then post another thread in the forsale section... with GI in the title.. that way people know it's a gauging interest NOT currently selling etc...

    I am sure there are people who know people who will buy it...

    personally when I see someone get all ass hurt so easy, I refuse to give them money even if it is a good deal for me... IMO...

    again good luck..

    just toss it up for sale on craigslist, IMO, no point of returning it, unless you feel the need to do so.
    easier to sell things on there.

    This is referred to as "Gauging Interest" or "GI". You would also want to start this kind of thread in the sale forum also. This is basically what Nuke was telling you also. Just because people don't sugar-coat everything when they give you simple instructions with :):yumyum:;):eek4::(:roll::biggrin::eek3::biggrin::laugh: Doesn't mean that you need to :emo:

    Grow some thicker skin and try not to pick fights with the more respected members, as far as forum relations go. Most of all Nuke: I hear he once killed a man and fed him to pigs.
