Hi, I have a Nintendo Wii that I have hardly used at all and am planning to sell it. The question is though, I have heard that the Wii is still in high demand and are out of stock in stores unless you buy that whole bundled package. I have someone who would want to buy the system for $200 USD but still am not sure if it is worth it? If not, what would be a better price for the system. It already includes everything in the starting kit such as wii sports, etc . Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

If you're really selling it, I would recommend attempting to sell it on eBay first. People will buy it regardless of it being used or new, so you might be able to sell it for $250 or more.

The Wii right now is still in very high demand and exists with varying shortages. Unless someone in many places wants to wait for a store to open, then stand around for a pallet to get undone on the floor getting a Wii won't be easy.

If someone is offering you $200 for a used wii that's still complete and in top shape you're being suckered. Just watching the scumbags overprice stuff on Craigslist alone tells me reasonably speaking a Wii complete in box you could get a good $50 mark-up on as those tend to move while the greedy jackholes wanting like $350-400+ just keep posting and never move a thing. I'd at least demand what you paid for it.

You know, people say that it is in high demand, but around here, i see Wiis in stock everywhere, when i bought my Wii, about 5-6 months ago, i had to go to several stores to find one in stock, but now there are Wiis in stock everywhere, at least around mii

edit: lol i didn't mean to spell mii

Well good luck selling it. I was about to sell my Wii and save money for a 360. But now, im saving money for a 360 and play my Wii in that progress. Think it over a few times.

No way man, $200 is way too little. On ebay used with a game or two and a few accessories they can get from $400 to $500. I say take no less than $350.

    Google isn't very helpful anymore, you get recommended loads of crap that doesn't solve the thing that you're looking for.

    @K3Nv2, afaik yeah but I also don't think that it runs on home grade routers like openwrt/dd-wrt does. OPNsense runs on full-on x86 PC hardware
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Sadly openwrt seems to be dying for support unless it's just. Anew name
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like made by the same devs different architecture
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    idk, I mean it had a new release back in March https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/releases
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Not sure how recent hardware it supports though
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I mean for 1st party routers iirc linksys use to support it
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    ahhhh that I have no idea
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    pretty cool though if so
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Or from what ive heard ways to set custom imgs for 1st party routers so locked down now days
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    OPNsense VM and specs and specs of system it's running on. https://imgur.com/a/S9wgGUD
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I've turned more features on in OPNsense lately and it's getting kind of high on RAM usage, I see. Probably bump that up to 4GB soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I wanna make a 8core router with support for 20gbps doesn't even sound that silly lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:

    2 port HPE SFP+ PCIE NIC in my desktop and all of my servers
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    silly shit
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    eventually this desktop is going to act as a server too, just for the hell of it. Because this PC is WAY fucking overkill for how little I use it.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    And once I do that, my desktop OS that I interact with is just going to be a virtual machine and use GPU passthrough to connect everything
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Send it to me ffs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    No because it's my desktop lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
