The Wii Game is Making People Be Meanies, and Me Be Mad!

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Okay, okay, everybody…I give up. WHERE can I find the Wii game!! My kids are going crazy saying they want this game for Christmas and I cannot find it anywhere. I repeat ANYWHERE!! My name is on several lists all over town and I haven’t gotten one phone call yet. Every time I hear it’s somewhere, I race over there only to find that it’s gone or they “just sold their last one. Sorry.”

I’m beginning to think that the Wii powers don’t want us to get this game. So, while I’m supposed to be giving out advice at this blog, I greatly need your help so that I can help the other readers. Where is the Wii game!!!

On Black Friday, a friend of mine and I went shopping for all the latest and greatest deals. We started out, of course, on the hunt for the Wii. We stood in three lines for a total of five hours and turned up nothing. Not a thing. Na-da.  What gives? We had money in hand, a desperate look on our faces and still nothing. There was one man that stood in line…oh my gosh…he stood in line with us for some of that three hours and guess what? He did not need nor did he even want a WII. He was standing in line to get a Wii, an X-box and a PlayStation 3 all to sell to desperate folks like myself, on eBay. Now while I’m all for making a deal, turning a profit and being a savvy business person, I do not like manipulation of any kind. Now everyone knows the Wii is selling for $250 or so. This guy was going to sell it to us for $350! All because he knew we wanted it, badly, and he knew he didn’t need it.  What do you do with mean people like that?
