Wii RAPE ALARM: WEEKEND TRIPLE-TEAM SPECIAL
In reverse order of STAGGERING SHAMELESSNESS we have:
Overclovers UK, generously chucking out a standard £179 Wii for £328.99 to make many a child’s dream come true this Christmas – a dream that will be cruelly SHATTERED when daddy gets put in prison by the credit card company early next year.
Then there’s quite a leap to this man. You have to respect him for trying, but suggesting you buy a Wii for £30,000 so you can “get in the papers” as the country’s biggest idiot is PURE GOLD. At least he’s not overcharging for postage – at only £1 he’s making a loss on that.
And the winner! An Irish man selling a Wii for £1,000,000 on Buy It Now, or a much more reasonable £60,000 if you can wait and don’t have to have it immediately. He is also using the “get in the papers” angle.
SOME OTHER ARSEHOLE:
£14,999 with half of that going to charity. The other half is going to a man in exchange for him posting you a Wii. At least he’s not charging extra for postage.

“UK PAL VERSION – DON’T BE RIPPED OFF WITH OTHER VERSIONS” — Yeah, because paying £30,000 for an AMERICAN version would be unwise.
Why would you want to get in the papers anyway? Isn’t the rush because people are buying them as Christmas presents? Is it all a plot to ruin little Johnny’s Christmas by letting him see what he’ll be getting AND proving there’s no Father Christmas at the same time?

“I THINK YOU WILL BE IN THE PAPER IF YOU BUY”
Indeed you will, under the banner headline ‘FUCKING IDIOT BUYS WII FROM OTHER FUCKING IDIOT’
aiaikf – something to do with Monkey Ball. I’m too angry to come up with something funny.

There’s no Father Christmas?

Are people jusy completely unaware that you can get them fairly easily from CEX stores for £270? It’s still a rip off but it’s only around the price of a PS3.

This stopped being funny halfway through the first story you did on it. Write something else.

Anything over “free” is a rip-off.
I already owned a GameCube. They should’ve just sent me out the remote in the mail like they did with those crappy straps and bubble-wrap condoms.

Jesus H.
One bid one the £30,000.
It’s times like this I get shameless and wish I had a Wii to sell.

Surely the last guy asking for a million is from the UK and not Irish? As an Irishman I should object, but instead I’ll fall into the typical sterotype of drinking and domestic abuse :D

overclockers are are nearly as bad as microdirect for being a complete shower of useless twats so I’m not surprised by this.
