Quick Wii Help...should I?

[LenaGardner]

Okay, I bought a Wii in 2006 but don't have it anymore...but now with all the Wii-fit talk I am REALLY wanting it again Ya'll are making me jealous (and I could totally use the exercise!). So of course I'm looking at bundles on eBay...all atleast $500.

I found one on Craigslist that appears to be very reputable...for $325...and my dad gave me $100 for Christmas.

I know David would love it too!

I need to make a quick decision before she sells it to someone else. It was posted at midnight last night.

For sale is an "occasionally and barely" used nintendo wii console, complete with all its components and internet updates. It is as described b/c it was basically only used during family get togethers (all adults). It comes with all the original components (remote w/ jacket, nunchuck, wires, and Wii sports). Also included are Super Mario Bros, Excitebike, and Donkey Kong Jr. (all downloaded on the virtual console), and additional 500 Wii points for use on the Wii channel. The console is in excellent condition.

Also comes with Wii Fit (brand new and sealed in its original box).

All this for $325 cash!!

If you really want it and will get good use out of it, that looks like a great deal to me Lena

That's not a bad deal. It's not an AMAZING deal, but it's not bad.

I just checked, and the Wii console itself is around $250 now (I bought mine a year ago so I wasn't sure what they were going for). I got the wii fit at Christmas for less than $100 at Target. Those downloadable games aren't worth much (they're cheap to download -- we have several). You'll probably need to buy extra controllers with it, too (the downloadable games need the classic controller on a lot of them).

Overall, if you really want it, this would be a great way to get it all in one package. Sounds like a good deal!

Honestly, while I love Fit and we've been using it every day - I wouldn't count on that to be a really good work out, especially not in the long run. (I'm embarassed to admit how winded I can get from it right now though!) I've heard really good things about My Personal Trainer game, and I'm not sure you need the Fit board to do that. As for the Wii itself, it is used every single day in my house!

Can you offer a lesser amount? For a new system, that would be a good deal, but since it's used, I'm not sure I'd pay that much. Don't count in the things you wouldn't use, or like Libby said, the downloaded games.

meh, turns out someone called before me anyway. off to plan b. i'm not sure what plan b is yet

I got a wii fit for Christmas and I have used it every day since. It is very motivating for me and I find that when I do it I am more motivated to use my elliptical as well. I have already lost 2 pounds...so anyway I think that is very good price. Esp. if you are wanting to get in shape when you weigh the gym membership fees against it...

****have you checked your local game stops and such for a consol...sometimes you can find them used there.

we had one for awhile, and it was played off an on, then i lost interest. and we traded it in at Game Stop. Now, i want one of those Wii Fit things too! but i don't know if DH will want one again. so i'll just stick with my PS3, lol.

We got ourselves a Wii fit for Christmas. My husband LOVES it, and has never ever been into physical fitness before. Look for one. The thing we love is trying to beat each other's scores in the different games and events - that in itself is really motivating to us. And my balance and posture have improved tremendously.
