The other day I saw that two people were able to buy Wii consoles online here for $249.99.

I get detailed reports of purchases, so I know that Amazon is getting new shipments of Wii consoles for $249.99, I just don’t know when.

How do you get a $249.99 Wii console?

That’s the thing…

Maybe those two folks were blessed and highly favored, but to find your $249.99 Wii online, BOOKMARK THIS LINK AND KEEP CHECKING FOR THE “In Stock” wording and keep refreshing your browser.

Check all day if you have to and are really desperate to buy a $250 Wii online.

Can you really buy a $250 Wii console?

Well, two people did just thru this site alone the other day, so there is hope.

If you don’t have the time nor inclination to do that, there are still plenty of Wii consoles for sale above — but since those are so easy to buy online, they’re more than $250…

Wii stock is loaded with new Consoles — with hundreds of the hardly-in-stock Nintendo Wii consoles on Amazon, as a few clicks around this website will show you.

And you’ll notice that most of the Wii stock on Amazon is from third-parties.

But the cool thing is that Amazon has this guarantee of protection privacy and security policy that if you dig thru and read the return terms, they’ll cover you on returning an item — up to $2,500!

Wii Stock Can Be Returned…

I can vouch for the fact that Amazon does return the money to clients.

Of the 100 or so Wii consoles sold thru this site, I’ve seen about three returns go thru — and I’ve seen my referral fee taken back and the amount the people paid credited back, usually around $535.00 or so.

(I’m hoping those customers ended up finding a Wii console in the stores for $250, and that’s why they returned them.)

Safely Buy Wii Stock

Avoid the scams some people are falling prey to by scammers claiming to have a boatload of Wii stock.

Don’t wire anybody any money thru Western Union unless you know them — and even then, use caution.

Buy the Wiis in stock from Amazon as listed around this site, and read up on their safe shopping (and selling) tips.

That way, you’ll be most happy with the Wii stock you’ve found, and not crying on Christmas day.

I just did a count of the new Wii consoles in stock now, today – almost Saturday, December 8, 2007.

If you click on the appropriate links above, you’ll see how many new Wii consoles are in stock now today, in the U.S., the U.K., Japan, Germany and France.

It’s interesting to read the news reports and see the amount of new Wii consoles in stock each day dwindle.

Hopefully the amount of new Wii consoles in stock today will be replenished before Christmas.

If you peruse Google News reports about the Nintendo Wii System, you’ll find just how many people are desperate to get that game system under their 2007 Christmas trees.

U.S. Nintendo Wii System Game Consoles in Stock and Ready to Buy, December 2007

As of today, I’ve found 105 new Nintendo Wii Systems in stock and ready to buy online for customers in the United States of America.

The amount of U.S. Nintendo Wii System Game Consoles just decreased as I wrote this, so obviously the jacked-up price of the game systems isn’t deterring determined Christmas 2007 buyers.

U.K. Nintendo Wii Systems in Stock and Ready to Buy, December 2007

Amazon is showing 66 new Nintendo Wii System Game Consoles in stock and ready to buy online for U.K. (and some European country) residents.

Germany, Austria and Switzerland Nintendo Wii System Konsole in Stock and Ready to Buy, December 2007

Germany, Austria and Switzerland have 16 new Nintendo Wii System Consoles in stock here (Deutschland hat 16 neue Nintendo Wii System Konsolen auf Lager hier) ready to buy online…

And Germany, Austria and Switzerland also have 10 new Nintendo Wii System Consoles in stock here ready to buy online…

France Nintendo Wii System Game Consoles in Stock and Ready to Buy, December 2007

France has only 9 new Nintendo Wii System Game Consoles in stock and ready to buy online here (La France a seulement 9 nouvelles consoles de jeu de système de Nintendo Wii en stock et prêt à acheter en ligne ici) …so get ‘em while the gettin’ is good, Frenchmen.

Japan Nintendo Wii System Game Consoles in Stock and Ready to Buy, December 2007

Japan has 12 new Nintendo Wii System game consoles here in stock online and ready to buy.

Japan also has 8 more new Nintendo Wii System game consoles here in stock online and ready to buy again, for Japanese Wii System seekers.

Nintendo says there really is a limited supply of Nintendo Wii Consoles in stock and that they are not faking low supplies to drum up sales.

Makes sense to me.

I mean, if you had a supply of the 3rd hottest products of 2007 in your possession — as AOL has deemed the Nintendo Wii Console — with plenty of people scampering to pay double and triple the amount of the original under-priced $250 for the console, would you really hold them back to create a fuss?

I don’t think Nintendo is doing this.

Once and a while a product just comes along that the entire world takes to.

Who’s buying all these Nintendo Wii Consoles online and in the stores?
I believe Nintendo — as well as all of us — underestimated just how much we would like the Wii, how much our kids would like the Wii and blessedly stay out of our hair whilst playing it so we can blog…

How much non-gamers also like the Wii is a factor playing into all this fervent desire to buy a Nintendo Wii Console online at almost any cost to get the hottest game of the year under their Christmas tree.

Even the elderly are playing Wii…

I mean, check out this Christian Science Monitor article talking about how surprised Nintendo was that the elderly are taking to playing Nintendo Wii.

Who could’ve predicted that a video game would’ve swooped into nursing homes like that alien energy in the movie Cocoon and give older people a new swing in their gout-ridden steps?

This is a good thing…

Either way, if you’re one of the unfortunate ones to miss out on buying a Nintendo Wii online because the stock runs out as demand overtakes those millions of new consoles being made in China as you read, don’t despair — you can always buy that 90 DVD set of movies from United Artists featured on Oprah’s 2007 “Favorite Things” show.

Then maybe once you get thru a few of those movies and get tired of sitting on your couch, the Nintendo Wii Console Christmas madness will have passed, and maybe they’ll once again have more back in stock and closer to the original $250 price.

But I wouldn’t count on it.

Better get ‘em while their hot and in stock and ready to buy online…

Okay, so I admit that standing in long lines in frigid weather to purchase the elusive Nintendo Wii Console from places like Best Buy and such looks like a kinda fun time.

That’s if you’re with good people in a safe place, loaded up with hot chocolate — or smart enough like one guy who brought a tent with a portable heater while he waited in a Black Friday line to buy something or ‘nother…

But just like most of my heady fantasies, reality is probably harsher and less exciting.

The concrete gets cold.

Maybe it’s not that bad right now; maybe you’re one of the folks who like running from store to store to store to find a Wii Console to purchase.

I’m not.

If it’s easy and I got the money, I’m all for buying stuff online — from places I trust, that is. Like Amazon.
