pssssttt...hey, Buddy...
....wanna buy a WII?
Noooo I don't have one for sale anymore - it didn't stay in the house for more than an hour after I bought it.
Backing up......
I was at the gamer store the other day schmoozing with the head gamer dude while trying to buy some present for my son who already bought something for himself - socks from now on. Anyway...before I left the store, I asked if they had any WIIs because my friend wants one. He allowed as how I ought to check back between noon and 3pm on Tuesday. So Alice and I show up around noon - no WIIs - no shipment as yet and the clerks are annoyed that I was informed when they have been instructed never to tell people. We decide to go to AppleBees since Alice was on her lunch break anyway BUT we sit where she can keep an eye on the counter at Gamestop. Too funny - we just barely finished and paid when she spotted unusual amount of traffic over there so off we went and sure enough two WIIs were going out the store attached to two "older" couples - older than me! hrumph - I bet they had inside information too!. So Alice got her WII and I bought another one because son#1 was on the look out for one for his friend. Within two hours that WII was bought, brought home, reboxed, slapped with prepaid shipping label, repaid plus shipping by friend using Paypal and back out the door to the post office.
Goodness...such techies....

My daughter wants a Wii for her birthday next week. I hope her boyfriend gets it for her because I'm done shopping. Right now I hear the tap, tap, tapping of my son on his Rockband drums. It used to be the clicking of Guitar Hero.
