Hardware Chances this is legit

[Deleted User]

I was looking to buy a cheap used wii u off ebay today (not enough games for me to consider a new full price one)
Then I saw this-
https://www.ebay.com/itm/292297714319
I bought it quickly without thinking and know I'm realizing that might not have been a good idea.
What are the chanches that this isn't a scam? At least it doesn't have a generic stock photo of the wii u

20 dollars?
Like... for real?
That's shady af, I really hope you get what it's advertised.
However, if it is not, then 20 bucks reclaim is not much and could easily be demanded back for sure.

No offense, but people like you are why shitty stores like this manage to stay in business. There is absolutely no way this is legit as Wii U's are very easily selling for 100 bucks. It's either a knockoff or broken IMO.

We'll know in about a month.

My bets are you'll turn that shit on and it'll just have the same graphics as a one of these:

Fake Wii U for sure.

But anyways...
To start off, a Wii U console with controllers and "new" like condition for $20 average is the craziest thing ever.
The post is also from a new profile that joined this month with 0 reviews which makes his posts non-credible what so ever.

Sorry to say, but you got robbed.

Well i guess we'll see.

Thats exactly why i took the chance, 20 bucks isn't much to reclaim.


Is it realistic to get a used wii u for under $60? I'm talking like the crappiest physical condition possible, heck it doesn't even have to read discs since i only use digital games.
Only reason I want one is because I won't be able to use my wii u until around a year and a half.

Cancel and get your money back dude

You can get a Wii for 20 quid if you look good enough.
A Wii U for 20 quid, no way.

I emailed the seller asking what region the console is. If he replies in a few days i'll give it a chance. If not then I'm cancelling.

Oh hell no! Why the (I won't say something I'd regret) buy this. The location is even in Chinese! That's a big no-no. Why would you buy it, even on accident. At first I thought it said $200 and I was gonna say it was too much. You're covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee, you just have to prove what you recieved was not what was expected. And you didn't think that a 'New' Wii U out of the box is a scam?

A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store, unless the item is handmade or was packaged by the manufacturer in non-retail packaging, such as an unprinted box or plastic bag.

There are no 'new, full price ones' anymore. You can buy a refurbished Wii U on sale for $200 on Nintendo's online store. Cancel your order if possible.

Dude, the gamepad controller itself costs over $60 used. Not very realistic at all.

Yeah I'm beginning to see that. I managed to a used console with a broken disk drive (but otherwise works fine) for $50.00. Seller had good reviews and was also very friendly and answered both of the messages that I sent him before and after I bought it. Now I have to track down a gamepad for it since I want to install CBHC. This will be fun...

New account, China.
Yeah, you probably got scammed.

 

[Deleted User]

Just saw another chinese user with no reviews selling a wii u and two controllers for $16... I didn't know this was that common
Although this one didn't even bother to upload a picture

Yeah, scams are pretty common on ebay.

I had that as a kid! wow haha i'd totally forgot that even existed. Good memories!

 

[GunzOfNavarone]

1) Item location - 'China'
2) Feedback profile - '0'

And you really need to ask?

For your own safety, never go to http://craigslist.org

For those of you who don't know what Craigslist is, it's a website for local trade and full of scams left and right. Even the buyers are scammers.
