Shopping for a Wii on Criagslist?

go to a used game store or site- Hastings(gohastings.com) game exchange or game stop- all of them sell used game systems and they are tested before they are bought back and sold to you. And if you have any problems with the system- most of the time they will exchange it for you or give you a refund (usually for in store credit).
Hastings had them on sale for $70 on black friday. I don't remember what they are originally.
Less hassle this way!

If you have a Game Crazy or someplace like that in your town a lot of times you can buy a used game console from them for a lot less than new. We bought ours there and it worked great!! We also paid I think $14 for a 2 year warranty on it so if anything happened then we would get a brand new one!! You can also buy used games and such at a huge discount. If they don't work for some reason then you just take them back and get another.

I was looking on craigslist too but they were just so expensive for that you don't get any garantie that it really works. My husband just bought one thru ebay. If you pay with paypal and the console is not exactly the way the seller descriped it you will definitly get your money back. Hope that helps!! :)

gamestop.com has them used for 99.99..and they have a warranty..you can also get them at the gamestop store for same price..hope this helps

I wouldn't buy from craigslist.
Maybe try ebay? You can always check to see if they have positive feedback. My fiance buys from ebay all the time. Never goes with anyone below a 99% feedback.

Or you can try a game store like gamestop?
They sell used consoles and they check to make sure everything is working properly before putting it out.

I wouldn't buy off Craigslist. I would do Ebay and pay via Paypal. You can get used ones on there. Or go to a Game Stop or used game store in your area.

If you are going to buy one used, you have to be able to hook it up and try it out before you buy, which means you need to either have them come to you or go to them, which can be dangerous. I would not take the risk, I would buy new.

The new ones in the stores are not that expensive anymore. I'd spend a little more and make sure I got a new one.

That said, we got ours off CL right after they came out and were hard to find anywhere. We got a brand new one in the box with receipts. We lucked out.... a couple had gone to 2 places looking for wii's and just so happened they both got one and they didn't need 2. We paid the going rate at the time, around $300, because they didn't want to be stuck with 2.

Just be cautious and I would not buy used.

If you do get it on Craigslist I would ask why they are getting rid of it. If they say they are trading it in for an Xbox or something like that, i would assume it has been taken care of. If they have a weird reason, I would be a little more weary.
