So I got a Wii and..?
Now I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it. I'm semi-disappointed with the results on eBay. I also got Zelda whatever it is, I'm not the gaming-type at all, but I broke down and decided to get one. Should I just take it back or should I try my luck on eBay?

The absurd $2000+ ebay prices on PS3's and, a year ago, the X-Box 360 were the result of manufacturing shortages coupled with high demand.
Unlike the X-Box 360, and VERY unlike the PS3, the Wii actually saw satisfactory manufacturing numbers. Pretty much anybody who wants one can walk into a store and buy one.
In other words, the Wii supply is very high, and the demand is really nothing extraordinary.
I'd say if you don't plan on playing it, just return it to the store where you bought it. I doubt you'll get more for it on ebay.

You should just return it... the Wii is a high demand product, but they have the supplies to match the demand. The released over 4 million, and a majority of those were in the US. It isn't like the other systems; there isn't as much of a following, and the company didn't do a limited release. Sorry, you aren't going to get any more for it on Ebay than you would if you returned it...in fact, you might loose money after shipping and all that.
If you know anyone who is a gaming type, give them a call and offer it for the sales price; they won't have to wait in line, and you won't have to go to the store to do the return. If you don't know anyone who would want it, just go make the return.

First of all I dont see why you would get the wii and zelda and then be dissapointed and would want to take it back seriosuly I wish I had them right now and Im leaving in a while to get them, as for the ebay good luck maybe you will get like 200 dollars since its used but yeah think about and read about a system before you buy it and plust I at first was skeptical about it until I played it and was hooked, just give it time.

You're not gonna make money of the Wii Not that much anyway Nintendo, unlike Sony, always releases a good amount of system which means there will be no shortages like the PS3 one

I think you have bigger things to think about once you decide what to do with your Wii. What if this had been an animal, or car? Next time something like this comes up you should try the product before you buy it. There have been stations all over my city, with designated Nintendo experts demonstrating Wii in every Best Buy, Circuit City, you name it...

Try to take it back. After the selling fees and the (expected) discounted price on E-Bay, you will lose money. If you're within the return policy the best bet is to get your money back.

Why'd you get it in the first place? I'd take it back before I tried my luck on Ebay.

You should keep it because you could browse the internet with it. You could also buy games that have to do with whatever u like. All games are easy with that conrtoller. I have tried it.
