Buying nintendo wii online? by .Roy on 03-10-2008 at 07:11 PM
Yeah well, after seeing Super Smash Brothers Brawl I think I've decided into buying nintendo wii.
can anyone recommend an online store that ships world-wide?
edit: I would prefer a store that accepts paypal.

Try Amazon here.
RE: Buying nintendo wii online? by .Roy on 03-10-2008 at 08:15 PM
I don't think they accept paypal...

What country are you from, if you don't mind me asking.

I think his from Israel 
RE: Buying nintendo wii online? by .Roy on 03-10-2008 at 08:26 PM
Yeah, from Israel.

Maybe your best bet is eBay Israel .. which I think you may know is located here.

Thing is, I don't have an ebay account, and I doubt people will want to do business with a 1 day old account without any past positive trades -.-'.
RE: Buying nintendo wii online? by Naruto-SR on 03-10-2008 at 09:54 PM
Well, maybe ask a well known person on here to buy it for you and you send them the money via PayPal?

Also, a way around the 1 day old account is to buy the Nintendo Wii using the Buy It Now feature and paying within 5 minutes of ordering.

If it's an auction then they can't refuse to sell it to you. If you win the auction then that constitutes a legally binding contract, whether your account is 1 day old, or 10 years old

It's not the buyer who needs a good rep, it's the seller.

The buyers out there can be complete arses though...my dad runs into these guys all the time on ebay who just keep on upping the price and end up not winning it in the end >.> I swear some of them get around the "No bidding one after the other" rule or something...it's really annoying.

Actually, be careful with PAL/NTSC, i don't think the wii can switch between them

! Another thing, look REALLY close at the description and make sure they aren't just trying to sell you the box. o-o
