eBayers snapping up in-demand console for over a grand, says newspaper
This morning’s Metro reports that Wii bundles are being sold for a more than £1000 as Christmas looms and desperate parents continue to pay over the odds for the console.
While the frenzy has calmed a little - a quick look at the auction site this morning sees the consoles selling for around £250 – there is still huge demand for the Wii. It is also the most searched for item on ebay.co.uk, with nearly 30,000 searches recorded.

Re: stupid!
Exactly. Even if I was rich I would never happily give someone else that kind of money knowing that the RRP was 10x less!
Re: stupid!
I would sell mine for £50, it's a piece of trash.

Done! Do you take Paypal?
Re: stupid!
Some would rather do something stupid and not have a dissapointed child on xmas. Though it is a shame that people will take advantage of others like this... for that high a price!
