Nintendo’s Wii may still be the must have console this year, at least according to eBay.  The Wii is already the most searched for item on eBay across all categories.  Not only that but the Wii Fit is second on the list.

The Wii has an average selling price of about $100 above retail cost on eBay.  It has been reported that 3,171 Wiis  and 1,059 Wii Fit bundles were sold in 24 hours on Black Friday.  Either consumers are worried they won’t be able to find a Wii or Wii Fit this holiday season or they just don’t want to leave the house to purchase these gifts and will settle to pay a premium price for them.

I guess it looks like we will be seeing another holiday season of intelligent shoppers buying up all of the Wii products they can find and selling them on eBay for a profit.  I just can’t seem to fault the more intelligent shoppers here, the early bird gets the worm.
