Retail Store Scalping Wii Consoles on eBay

Posted by Zonk on from the with-a-name-like-slackers-... dept.

C0rinthian writes "ArsTechnica reports that the games retailer Slackers has been keeping their stock of the Nintendo Wii off their store shelves, and is instead selling the system on eBay for $400-500. (A $150-$250 markup)" This follows their look at the other side of the coin: why some retailers insist on Wii Bundles.

    "OMG, guys, why are you ragging on NAMBLA? They aren't violating the law!"

    Okay, we get it. You're "open-minded". You don't personally pass judgment on dickish behavior so long as it is not illegal. Now fuck the hell right off.

    They don't make any decent tvs, laptops, or projectors anymore, so I assumed he meant games in general. Their crappy products are already disqualified by being crappy. Saying he would have bought them is just disingenuous.

    Then again, computer games nowadays all suck, so I guess I'd say the same about that niche as well. *shrug* Maybe he would have bought something from Sony...
