[QUOTE="tronic307, post: 4317182, member: 4563"] Times are surely different now, but I used to sell the Wii for about $400 on a 3 day auction starting at 99 cents, no reserve. As to the longevity of hype, it took about a year to drop to $300, which was no longer worth it. There was a definite market that, in my opinion, was not giving their money away, they were paying me to stand on a line for 4-8 hours, pick the item up for them, and send it to them insured, with the original receipt. Wii U business might possibly be a tad slower than that, but I'd bet you could sell 3 per week for like $500 or possibly more. It's just a grind that some people will pay to avoid, even if the economy sucks. If you know what it's like out there, you should know what it's like to sell your stuff to pay the rent. What's so different about this? [/QUOTE]

If you're in the UK, you could've sent it to me and I'll do my best to look into it. I can't ship elsewhere due to the high cost for shipping, fuck Brexit.

The cost of repair is equivalent to just buying a replacement or a device that can just emulate it

The consoles only (2nd-hand) are very cheap. I bought a full set even for £10, another I got for free from somebody locally.
