Nintendo Wii sells on eBay for £1000

Bundles of the Nintendo Wii console have been selling for around £1000 on auction website eBay after parents paid over the odds to keep the kids happy at Christmas. The price tag is around five times what the console costs to buy in the UK.

Now that stocks are becoming more available in high street stores, the price has dropped a little, but it seems that ma and pa will do anything to get their kids dream present for the big day.
