    this is a bloody disgrace. there's a guy on ebay selling a wii with zelda, he's quoted £120 shipping to ireland, on top of the auction price. just pointing it out in case there's any irish bidders on here interested in it. he quotes free p&p for UK, so don't be caught out.

    Where's the 'disgrace'? Who's holding a gun to your head, forcing you to buy it?

    It's a seller's market, anything goes.

    I hope that all those people who bought just to sell on ebay end up having to sell for less than they paid after Nintendo send the next shipment on Friday. Not going to happen but it would be nice no the less.:D

    The disgrave is that this seller is a con man and that it is against ebay rules to charge extorsionary prices for P&P, anyway you can report things like this to ebay.

    This reminds me of a wii I saw on saturday of a guy in galway with shipping costs within Ireland at €75. Absolute disgrace. Whats even worse was that people were bidding as well.

    Some sellers put P&P high to avoid import duty (I know this isn't the case here) and then sell the product for a cent on ebay.

    Im a would be a bit causious about buying new consoles off ebay and the likes. I heard of a funny story (well funny cos it didnt happen to me) a guy in america thought he was buying a new PS3 for a good price but when the package arrived to his horror he was not the owner of 1 PS3 but 3 PS Ones! Dont know where i heard it. Probably not true but i would like to believe it.

    About £15-20 via courier. So €30 tops.

    Postage on the above is only £11 and is charging 280 Euro for the console so I think that seems about fair for postage for postage. And this is buy it now price. Wish I had 280 Euro to burn right now.
