Nintendo Wii Supply Meets Demand

2009-03-24T07:25:00.001-07:00

It appears that retailers like GameStop finally have enough Nintendo Wii consoles in stock to meet customer demand for the game console. Yes it took 3 years, but its very good news for those of you who are looking to buy a Wii. This is great news considering that demand, in spite of the weak economy, remains very hot -Wii is still the number 1 selling game console and Nintendo sold 753,000 Wii consoles in the U.S, for the month of February (a 74% increase in sales).

For Those of You Who Didn't Buy Wii Online Before Christmas, Here's Why eBay May Still Be Your Best Best Now

2008-01-01T06:07:00.000-08:00

Hey there, Happy New Year! I just finished reading eBay Provides a Cheaper Alternative for Wii Shoppers. It pretty much confirmed what I wrote in my 7 Tips on How to Buy Wii Online at eBay post - that eBay provided the best opportunity for you to buy Wii online and get a better deal than you could at any other online retailer. And after reading that post, I hopped over to eBay, took a look at current auctions for Wii consoles and sure enough, the prices are lower now than they were prior to Christmas. Apparently, some eBay sellers were left with an oversupply of Nintendo Wii inventory and as a result, the prices have come down. So, eBay is still going to be your best bet to buy Wii online and get a pretty good deal in the process.

How to Use eBay's Advanced Search Tool to Easily Create Your Very Own Wii Tracker to Find And Buy Wii Online

2008-04-26T01:18:00.000-07:00

As promised in my last post, I'm going to show you how to use eBay's Advanced Search tool to create your very own Wii tracker to find and buy Wii online.

If you didn't register to get your own eBay account yesterday, click here to get your eBay account now because you can't put this tool to use for you or shop at eBay if you don't have an account.

Now that you've registered your account, let's get it started. Go to eBay's home page - eBay.com - and sign into your account.

From the search bar (at the top of the page) click on the Advanced Search link. From the Search: Find Items page, click search title and description and save this search to My eBay.

In the first block enter the keyword of the item your searching for and select the category. Since we're looking for a Nintendo Wii console or bundle, that's what we'll enter as our keyword(s). Video Games is our category and select All of these words;
Next, under Exclude these words, enter the terms you want excluded from the results. So enter words like "-PS3", "-Playstation 2", "-Xbox 360", "-mystery auction";
Since we are searching for a very popular item, leave the Items Priced section blank. Select From any sellers (under From Sellers), Items located in your country (under Location) and your preferred currency (under Currency); and
Under Show only, select All under Buying options, Items listed with PayPal and Listings Ending within your desired amount of time (I would choose within 4 days); and
Finally, from the Sort by, View results and Results per page drop down menus, choose your settings and click "Search". When you get your results, click on the Save this search link and pick the period of time you want eBay to send you emails about updates/additions to this search.

That's it - we're done. eBay will now send you daily updates to the search results for Nintendo Wii consoles and bundles by email for as long as you have it saved to your My eBay.

19 Shopping Days Left...Here Are 7 Tips On How To Buy Wii Online At EBay

2007-12-06T06:27:00.000-08:00

Can you believe it? There are only 19 shopping days left until Christmas, yet there are still plenty of opportunities for you to buy Wii online. BUT you've gotta act quickly and you have to be smart about it. As I mentioned in my previous post and on my buy Nintendo Wii online hubpage ...

"buying Nintendo Wii online at eBay may give you the best opportunity to get a good deal"

Here are 5 tips you can use when shopping at online at EBay:

Click here to register with EBay. It's free and there are many helpful buyers resources you can take advantage of IF you're a registered EBay buyer. Verify your account and register for a free PayPal account;

Next, use EBay's advanced search tool bar to locate and track Nintendo Wii bundle or console auctions. Be sure to save the search results in My eBay - anytime there are new auction listings for what you want to buy, you'll receive updates via e-mail;

Before you buy any item listed on eBay, completely read the entire listing to be sure you know what you're bidding on or buying - If you have any questions about the listing, contact the seller;

Check out the seller's Feedback score and carefully note the number of transactions, the percentage of positive and negative feedback and note the actual comments from other buyers about the seller. The seller doesn't have to have a perfect feedback score, but a Feedback rating of 98 percent is the lowest you should consider doing business with; and

Bid and buy items where the seller accepts PayPal or credit cards- these are the safest payment methods for you (just in case you're wondering, your credit card or banking information is totally secure when you pay for items using PayPal);

Here are 2 more tips:

track auctions that have at least 4 days remaining before the listing expires and that have a Buy It Now or Best Offer option; and

use your time to do research recently completed auction listings for the Nintendo Wii you want - what you're looking for are the prices paid in auctions where the Wii was sold (they're in green). This will help you determine if the Buy It Now price is fair and if the seller is willing to accept a Best Offer, you'll have a good idea of how much to offer to win the auction. It will also help you avoid getting into a bidding frenzy with other bidders.

Looking To Buy Online At Amazon? Here Are Some Tips You Can Use....

2008-04-09T10:50:00.000-07:00

If you want to buy Wii online at Amazon.com, this post is for you. Since Amazon sells products from its own inventory and provides a sales platform, Marketplace, to other marketers who want to sell their own products, I thought this info might be helpful to you.

When you buy a Wii (or anything else for that matter) at Amazon, the most important thing is to know who the seller is. It could be Amazon.com or an Amazon Merchant. I know that sounds simple, but if you're all giddy over finding the Japanese version of Nintendo Wii in-stock, knowing the difference could be crucial. At the very least, the cost could be quite different.

If you want to buy a Wii console or bundle from an Amazon merchant, approach it the same way you would if you were buying from a seller on eBay. Make sure you research the seller's feedback rating before you buy. Feedback history is going to tell you whether or not the merchant is someone you want do business with. Does the seller promptly fill and ship orders? How does the seller handle disputes - does feedback display the ability and desire to fix disputes. Does the seller deliver the merchandise as described?

When paying for items bought from Amazon merchants: Only pay for items through Amazon Payments, the only authorized and recognized way to pay for Marketplace purchases. Don't ever use any other form of payment.

Returning Computer & Video games: If you purchase computer & video games through Amazon.com, you can return unopened items that are still in plastic wrap within 30 days of the date you received them. But Amazon doesn't accept returns of products purchased from their merchants. Merchants will accept returns of computer & video games in their original condition up to 30 days after it ships. Exception: game software titles purchased in new condition can't be returned if the package has been opened unless the game is defective.

For more information on ordering from Amazon merchants, visit Amazon.com.

These Free Tools Can Help You Buy Wii Online

2007-11-28T17:16:00.000-08:00

Would you like some help to make it easier for you to buy Wii online? In the spirit of giving, I'm going to share 2 free tools that will locate stores that have Nintendo Wii in stock and instantly notify you via email, desktop application or mobile phone [Of course, you can always click on the eBay auction or Amazon product links in the sidebar of this blog to purchase your Nintendo Wii console or bundle].

Wii trackers. The Wii tracker is an online servie that checks the inventory of better known online retailers and instantly notifies you when the retailer has Wii game systmes in stock. Some Wii trackers notify you of updates by RSS feed, some via desktop applications and some send updates to your cell phone.

Here are some links to some well known Wii tracker websites: XPBargains, NowInStock and
InStockTracker

Wii seekers. The Wii seeker is similar to the Wii tracker in what it does. But what makes the seeker different is it uses Google Maps technology to locate offline stores and provide you with details about that store's Wii inventory. It can also give you notice of when Nintendo Wii is available from online retailers.

Here's the link to the original Wii seeker website: FindNearBy .

If you use the tracker or seeker, keep in mind that there are many others using the service with the same goal in mind as you - to buy the Nintendo Wii game system at the best price they can get; so you'll have to act quickly when you get notice that you can buy Wii online.

Buy Wii Online IF You Want to Avoid the Wii Inventory Holdback Game

2008-03-26T20:03:00.000-07:00

Buy wii online unless you actually enjoy running around (to offline retailers) like a chicken with its head cut-off, burning up your $3.26 per gallon gasoline and catching headaches when you're told "sorry, we don't have any Wii bundles or consoles in stock now - check back on Tuesday".

Wii inventory remains very tight. People online and off are wondering if Nintendo is purposely holding back supplies as well as instructing its retail partners to do the same. Why? To keep demand and to make strong sales in the face of new releases like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and the upcoming (April 27, 2008 in the USA) Mario Kart Wii. That's good for them, but I want to make sure those of you who want to buy a wii can get it done with as little hassle as possible. So in the coming days I will be posting about using online tools to help you accomplish your goals.

Of course, you can do yourself a huge favor and the advice I've previously offered here on this blog (and still stand by today) ... buy Nintendo Wii online at eBay.

Using Wii Trackers to Find and Buy a Wii

2008-03-31T13:35:00.000-07:00

Wii trackers are an excellent way for you to find retailers that have Nintendo Wii consoles and/or bundles in-stock. Tracker websites list the stores - online or off, the type of Wii inventory, whether the store has Wiis in-stock or not, and the price. You can and should sign up to receive free inventory updates from these sites because they will save you quite a bit of time in trying to locate the Wii you want to buy. That being said, here are 5 Wii tracker sites (that I'm familiar with) for you to check out:

BensBargains.net Nintendo Wii Tracker

NowInStock.net Nintendo Wii In Stock Tracker

Wii in stock at inStockTracker.com

FindNearBy.net Wii locator

xpBargains.com Nintendo Wii Tracker

Here are a few points you want to keep in mind:

To get the most out of this tool, you should definitely sign up for more than one inventory tracker update service. Yeah, you will have overlaps on some stores, but you will receive updates via multiple methods - email, rss feeds, desktop, cell phone and even Twitter, which will give you an advantage over other Wii buyers who are relying on just one tracker. Last and most important thing, when you receive an in-stock update about the Nintendo Wii you want, you have must be prepared to move and buy quickly because that available inventory will get snapped up in a few minutes.

EBay Continues to Make it Easy to Buy Wii Online

2008-03-29T23:48:00.000-07:00

Gamefray notes that the average price of a Wii console on eBay continues to come down to where the premium you can expect to pay over retail for a brand new one is approx. $50.00. There are also some sweet auctions for Wii bundles going on right now. If you don't want to waste time, follow the 7 tips I gave you on how to buy wii online at eBay.

Why Its Been So Hard For You to Buy a Wii and Why It May Become Easier Soon

2008-03-29T23:59:00.000-07:00

I just finished reading an article that reveals why its been so hard for you to buy a Wii. According to Wedbush Morgan analyst Micheal Pacter, the real culprit is the weak U.S. greenback. Apparently, products sold in the U.S. when the dollar is weak, don't generate as much profit for a company (after converting dollars back to their countries currency) versus sales of the same product in countries where the currency and demand is stronger. Our weak dollar "forced" Nintendo to allocate more Wii inventory to Europe where it's more profitable for the company to sell them. But the upside is that European demand appears to slowing down to normal levels and those excess Wii consoles should now be heading to the good old U.S. of A - meaning that it may be a lot easier for you to buy that Wii console or bundle you've been lusting at. Which will be great for those of you who haven't been able to get your hands on a Wii yet.

Here's the link to the full article:

The culprit behind why its so hard to buy a Wii and why the shortage may finally be near an end.
Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming posts that will reveal how to make it much easier for you to buy a Wii.

Maybe They Will Stop By Your House On Christmas Day If You Don't Buy Wii Online Now

2007-12-15T21:49:00.000-08:00

Okay, there are only 8 shopping days left (as if you didn't know that) to buy Wii in time for Christmas. If you don't make your move to buy a Wii bundle or console now, maybe these 2 cool cats will stop by your house and play a few Wii games with you.

Only 24 Shopping Days Left Until Christmas And Here Are 2 More Resources That Can Help You Buy Wii Online Now

2007-12-01T00:59:00.000-08:00

It's December 1st and if you're serious about having a Wii under your Christmas tree, you have to buy Wii online now. I know you've set up your Wii tracker and/or Wii seeker, but today I'm going to give you 2 more online resources to help you buy a Wii.

Amazon. Buying Wii online at Amazon gives you the ability to purchase the bundle you want or the console right now. I know. I can almost hear you asking how can this be true when every Wii tracker and Wii seeker shows Amazon is out of stock. You're right. Amazon.com doesn't have the Wii in stock, but through their independent sellers' WebStores, there are 102 offers for brand new Wiis priced from $548. 00 and 11 offers for used ones priced from $519.95. Obviously, you're not going to score a Wii at a bargain price here, but you'll be sure that you have a Wii to play with on Christmas day.

EBay. Purchasing Nintendo Wii online at EBay affords you the same opportunity to buy it right now. However, EBay also provides you with the best chance to buy Wii online at a cheap price (relatively so). Taking a look at EBay, there are over 13,000 current auctions for Nintendo Wii going on right now. For example, the page I'm on features a new Nintendo Wii console with a 5 game disc with a current bid of $329.51 on the lowest end and a new Wii Family Fun bundle with a current bid of $660.00 at the high end. When you weed out the mystery auctions and other nonsense listings, you see the opportunity this price disparity is giving you.

Both of these well known online retailers offer a surefire way for you to get the Wii you want when you buy Nintendo Wii online now through their websites. But if you want to buy Wii online at the cheapest price, EBay will give you the best chance of getting a sweet deal.

In my next post, I'll give you some tips that will help you get the best deal possible from EBay. Until I post them, here are 3 smart shopping tips you can use to buy Wii online now.
