Those are used Wii's with people looking to profit. Just get on a waiting list and get a new one for $250. You will have to wait a little while.

Answer 2

Answer 3

The Value Of THe Yen Has Fluctuated And The Value Has Risen

Answer 4

Well, have you seen the state of our economy at the present? Inflation is inevitable..

Answer 5

The retail price hasn't changed. ALL of those listings are private sellers who can set the price at whatever they want.

If you go to an actual store (or if Amazon themselves offered a Wii through the Amazon store), the Wii is still $249.99.

Answer 6

The retail price hasn't gone up. That's the amazon marketplace, where anybody can sell something and set their own price. Since there is still somewhat of a "shortage" of wiis, people have upped the price they sell them for. DO NOT pay that much. You can find them elsewhere.

dont order it just buy 1 at a store luckly 4 me i seriously just went 2 bestbuy and bam there were like 10 wiis so i bought 1 didnt have 2 keep searchin and no lines neather anyway thats 2 much  

Answer 9

Because Amazon is like ebay people try to sell them for more than they are worth so they can make money simply because they have em and stores do not. Just wait till a store gets them in. Talk to sore employee's and you won't have to pay so much.

That's just amazon, look elsewhere.

Answer 15

odd if you see the price at best buy,future shop, prices are much lower than the site you gave. i suppose it depends on thecompany store that sell the product.

Answer 16

Because no one will buy anything

Answer 17

That's because those aren't retail prices. Those are separate sellers who want to rip off their customers, that sell through the Amazon marketplace.

Answer 18
