    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.

    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.
