Have you tried eBay or OfferUp? You might even find some at your local Goodwill in the electronics section.

That said, even if you're having trouble finding unmodded Wiis, there are guides that cover unmodding modded Wiis, like this one:

I am curious why one would want to do this though: Modded Wiis provide more features, and the only reason one wouldn't want to mod them is to prevent getting banned, unable to connect online.

However, the Wii's online features are (ironically) now only available by modding the Wii, because Nintendo pulled the plug on their Wii online services: modders provided alternative networks to connect to.

I haven't heard of a single Wii or Wii U getting banned yet. Only 3DS and Switch so far.

My local game store has stacks of used Wiis. Maybe you have a similar store nearby?

Places like Ebay, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace, Offer Up etc, if you were buying locally it probably be cheaper due to no tax and no shipping fees, just make sure it work before buying.

Yes, most 3DS ban are associated with leaked Pokemon games (leak prior to release) that gamers didn't disable the SpotPass.

I thought that ban on Wii U only occur if buy games with stolen credit card (account ban).
