Hardware Some Sam's Club locations selling Wii U for under $150

[Gahars]

That is not a typo.

You won't find this deal online, but some Sams Club stores have severely cut the price of their Wii U stock and are selling them for under $150. In fact, the lowest completed sale I have seen was around $60. Sounds crazy, right? Too good to be true? I assure you it is, and it is happening all over the Untied States, with the price varying store to store. There is no official explanation for this - some of the consoles were ones that were returned, while others are brand spanking new. The general assumption currently is that Sams Club is trying to liquidate their in-store Wii U stock, likely because it isn't selling well.

OH MY GOD, IT'S A FIRE... SALE!

It's going to vary from store to store, and it doesn't mean they'll stop selling Wii Us forever, but if you want the system cheap, here's your opportunity.

Edit: Just checked the link, my old question is answered, these are Deluxe models.

In addition to this, everyone should know that if they aren't a member of the Sam's Club, they can't buy it without becoming one, which costs at least $40. Even still this sounds like it can be quite the steal.

Wasn't Sam's Club related to Walmart? Somehow this headline looks familiar

Just called my local Sam's Club. They're selling it for $199.

They also informed me that they were sold out =P

The OP did say it varies from store to store.

Tempting.
Very tempting.

Does Sam's Club ship to home address' from individual stores? I'm a member but all the locations around me are sold out. if someone knows a location with wii u's in stock at $150 or below I'd love to get their number via a PM.

This shocks me really ! Then again i only paid mine 300 bucks before the price drop thanks to a Staples coupon.

Walmart owns Sams club they are the same company

And I think they are selling old stock..because there are new models coming out next month

Yeah, another "Walmart hates the Wii U" headline. Meh.

I just talk to a guy on a different forum ..He has a buddy who works for walmart.

Only around 5 people claim to have found cheap systems and only a couple have provided proof. So here's what my Wally World buddy had to say, it's quite likely these few discounted systems were re-packs, hence the low price. If you check the Sam's Club website all the new bundles are still full price, the same goes with my local store.

I just call the Walmart also.. There systems are at 299.99
Still...

They are trying to clear out shell space so they can put the ouya instead
Its more profitable then the wii u at this point

And this isnt walmart, its sams club, completly different, its one of those warehouse syores then sells stuff in bulk like costco

 

[Pong20302000]

i bet its to sell out the WiiU's with the Bootrom exploit LOL

 

[Qtis]

A price I could pay for a WiiU. Luckily over here WiiUs are even more absurdly priced.

 

[GamerSince83]

Mmmmm might have to do a Scavenging Run to the local Sam's Club in my area.......Must have WiiU

Lol, what models Bubba? You talking about ones with an updated bootrom??? Lol

 

[WiiCube_2013]

And.. it's gone. Besides it's in US so I couldn't get it anyway.

I'd like to have an additional Wii U to play Bayonetta 2 somewhere else (when it's out).

That sucks. It's better than the people who get a game system box for christmas, only to realize that either (a) the box is empty or (b) the contents were replaced with Lego-brand versions.

I do live in a small town but our local Walmart never keeps Wii/Wii U/3DS at all. They stopped selling PS Vita and barely have any PS3 stuff in stock.
