Can somebody explain something to me about ebay? I bid on a wii today for $150 including shipping. But now that I've received notification of my bid being accepted it now says 45 dollars shipping...!! I am confused and not sure what to do next. It may have been my mistake but I read this thread earlier and was very careful ( I thought) to ensure that shipping was free....

is the original page with it on still available for a screencap (so you can prove to them what you saw)?

Hahaha can't believe I've been moping all weekend for missing out on getting a Wii console at Costco by >< that much, then come here and see all of you talking about it. They're always sold out around here, too.

Why are they heavily advertising the Wii Fit and not putting more consoles on the shelves? Grrrrrr

Costco was selling the console plus sports package for $349.99, so who sells them for $250? I'll probably get a console some day, then won't be able to find a Wii Fit!

Congrats Hermi on getting your Wii Fit.

My DD's boyfriend bought her a Wii for graduation. My nephew works at a video game store so we are lucky getting things when they come in.

No! I am a total newbie and when trying to find the original page all I can get is the fact that I've won the bid. I don't even want it at this rate.

$150 is cheap for a Wii. Even at $150 + $45 s&h = $195 as long as it's in good condition it's still a complete bargain. If they've misrepresented the item or the shipping that would be grounds to refuse to buy their item. I'm guessing you will need to email them. I think you should also check that they're selling you an actual full Wii console, not something without attachments or worse, attachments without the console.

I am confused, are you saying this WII is 1700.00

or is that a typo and its 170.00??? I thought the game system was about 300 when it came out

No I was saying that on Ebay you could buy the Wii Fit & balance board by bidding on it or clicking the BUY NOW button for the price of $1699.00. Ridiculous as it only costs $89.99 if you can find one in the stores. $200 might not be outragous for a buy now to insure you got it if you really wanted it, but $1700? I don't think so.

Dahli then even with the shipping it's a good price if it's new. Better than buying it at a store for $249.99.

Oh yah and it's not the console, just the balance board and Wii Fit. :-( I think my ebay days are over.

OH thought it was the console. Sorry.

I'd be upset too, but I do think you will like the Wii Fit, if that's any consolation.

Argg, Dahli. If they did misrepresent the shipping price then you do still have the chance to dispute the price. The Wii Fit is about $100-$120 (if you can find it) in stores (and depending where you are you'd have to pay sales tax) so it's not that overpriced at $150 if shipping were included. Otherwise you could email the seller and explain your mistake and ask them if they'd be able to find another buyer. There might have been someone who bid just less than you. Maybe you could offer to pay the difference?

from an inside source, if you are at your Target store on June 22nd when the doors open, you will get a Wii Fit. they have them in back stock but can't put them out until that morning. oh and the price is $89 before tax.

OK, he emailed me and said he had the same thing happen with another bidder on another item and that he doesn't know what's going on, and told me the other guy is paying the whole shot and then he will REIMBURSE the difference...
I do not like this and this is my first time, so I"m not going ahead, I guess they can ban me if they like, I'm still not able to find a console anyway :-(

thanks and I hope I haven't done a big no-no.

They can't ban you for them falsely advertising. You have done nothing wrong, withdraw your bid, and find another. I suggest Amazon. I like Amazon, and have never had a single problem with them.

I agree with Escapee... RUN. This guy sounds like he is pulling something and once he has your money you will be hooped.

PS Got to the advanced step today.... holy crap is that FUN!! Did it about 4 times in a row. Then did the short and long run plus the hoop and advanced hoop. 90 minutes total and the time just flies by. Forgot my 19 yr old dd was home though and apparently mom calling the hoop girl a b*$&% often and loudly was quite amusing. LOLOL

Rissa *L* I was just thinking about you when I was working out. Wondered if you ever talked back to the trainer or to the characters. I do all the time. HAHAHAHA hoop girl is a b - hahaha.

I LOVE the advanced step. Cept I forget to put my 2nd foot down when stepping on sideways and it's a miss. Did ok today tho.

I unlocked the Free Step today. Kinda boring, but a good work out. Just on and off the balance board for 10 minutes. Got a great work out.

Rissa you don't have a folder so I'm gonna ask you in here - and anybody else for that matter I guess.

Do you think there is enough interest to start a Wii Fit thread?

I would definately think yes in the short term, not sure how long it would last before interest dies down but just with the dozens of postings in the last 24 hrs though it might be a good idea to start a thread. There will be those talking about trying to find it, then the inevitable lovefest that follows actually using it and questions about the various activities. Yah, I can see a few hundred postings at least which I guess would be better suited to their own thread rather than clogging up this one. LOL

PS You're right... the boxing rocks. :-)

I think we should make one in the Health area. Even if interest dies down, that's okay. It will be fun, even inspirational, in the meantime.

Plus, I want to know how you can do step aerobics without a step???
