One of my friends is still looking for a Wii, and one of my old coworkers was auctioning his off on eBay. I told my friend about the auction and I went to check and see if he won it. He didn't, but while I was on the page, it gave me a list of similar auctions. One auction was "NIB Nintendo Wii Console + 14 Wii Games + 4 Controllers" starting at $469. That sounded like a pretty good deal and I was intrigued, so I clicked on it.


Here's WHAT I SAW.


As you can see, the auction in question doesn't have 14 games, it has two: Wii Sports and Wii Play. You also don't really get 4 controllers. 4 controllers implies that you get 4 Wii remotes... you don't, you get two remotes and two nunchuks. To be fair though, the items are NIB.

The mark-up on that package is ridiculous. The Wii (with Wii Sports, remote, and nunchuk) is $250. Wii Play (with remote) is $50. And the nunchuk is $20. That comes to $320, which os $150 less than they're asking for it. On top of that, they want $40 shipping. In summation, this seller seriously needs to FOAD.

The thing is, technically he doesn't lie. If you read description, he makes it clear what the item is even though the subject line is misleading. There were people back in November who were selling "PS-3" on eBay, and if you read the description, it would tell you that you were bidding on a lot of 3 PSXs.

But yeah, you can Ask The Seller A Question, which shows up on the page for everyone to see.
