Trying to buy a Wii? It's going to be rough going. Nintendo did not manufacture more systems in anticipation of the holiday crunch, and the Nintendo Wii turned out to be such a popular item, that stores everywhere are running out.

If you are trying to find out where to buy a Wii, the best place is always online. Sellers from just about anywhere can offer Wii game systems at competitive prices, and you have a choice of more sellers than at your local mall. You can buy a Wii online and receive it within a day or two. These are new Nintendo Wii game systems, in the box, many times with receipts or with return policies.
It can be scary to buy a gaming system online because of prevalent fraud these days. Make sure to follow these tips so that you have the safest buying experience online:
- The website where you choose to buy the system should be recognized like eBay. Keep your eye out for small, fishy looking websites.
- To make the payment use a service like PayPal or pay with your credit card. Don’t mail a check or money order because this will take longer and chances of fraud are higher with these. With PayPal your purchase is protected.
- Look out for the seller’s rating. Especially on eBay. Sellers should have a few hundred sales under their belt and should have a green (positive) rating. If they have the word “powerseller” beside their name, that means they sell a lot and are trustworthy.
- Make sure to compare prices before you buy. On eBay you can see the auctions that are about to finish or auctions that are already finished. Check against these prices. The prices will usually be lower than the ones you’d find in retail stores.
- Make sure the item you are bidding on has all the accessories and pieces you want. Does it have all the controllers, software, and cables? Is it “new in box”? Do you need a single system, or a bundle, with two controllers and nunchucks?
- Check to see that the seller is offering a return policy. You don’t want to buy something and be stuck with it if you’re unhappy. You should be able to get a refund.
- Make sure to ask your questions (if you have any) before placing a bid. Once you place the bid, the contract is sealed and you have to buy from that seller.
Use these special tips to make sure you buy a Nintendo Wii system you or your family is looking for!
