I think the supply is starting to catch up to the demand. In the Target/WalMart near me they almost always have consoles in and the Wii Fit as well.

They are. Like 280ish after tax. I wouldn't pay any more than the retail price. |

I could walk into Target right now and get one. Are you checking wiitracker.com to see when the Amazons, BestBuys, etc have them in stock for retail price? |

As long as your Tax is at or less then 8% it shouldn't be any more then 270 right? Are you looking to buy one at 250 only?

I wonder why. I guess people still sell them for a profit? It seems like that profit would have dwindled enough to not be worth the effort. Everyone wants to free buck. |

I have seen a few brand new ones on Craigslist for $220 and some used ones even cheaper.
