Speculating on Wiis
We kinda thought we might buy the kids a Wii this Christmas. As we learned yesterday, think again.
It's pretty clear that there's a sturdy undermarket of Wiis being sold, on Amazon and elsewhere, at prices that are double or more the listed price of the item. This kind of speculation seems, at this time of year, very Scroogelike, and seems like the action of a pretty miserable personality. On the other hand, I see no reason to buy at those prices, either, and the kinds of senseless people that are doing so are responsible for this kind of speculation in the first place.
Maybe the senseless and the miserable deserve each other, but it's unfortunate that the rest of us have to be swamped in their wake.

That way, we don't have to buy one for ours.
We can just send them to your house for Club Wii. Maybe you can charge a small monthly fee and pay for some cool games.
