Hi everybody.
I’ve just bought a brand new Nintendo Wii Console and I was wondering where is the best place to buy some game or some cool controller.
Immediately my mind went straight to “internet”
I went across many confused Websites full of Nintendo Wii stuff mixed with many other different Items.
Finally I found this website *mod edit* dedicated only to Nintendo Wii games, controller and console.
Everything is gathered very well, I’m ready to buy but something is stopping me still….
I’m not a real online buyer. How can I recognize if I’m gonna be scammed ?
Sorry for my ignorance. Hope this Post will be useful even for veterans to learn something new.
     Thanks       Markus

*unlocked because im not even sure if this is spam..*


I would suggest buying a Wii at bestbuy or something, use rainchecks.
he sounds kinda peppy, too peppy *glares suspiciously*
I think this is spam... or is it? If we get another post from this person it isn't. Otherwise, you know how it goes
This is spam in a gold foiled wrapper. The appearance looks nice but you didn't know the candy was poisoned.
Rule of thumb: if it's a new member's first post and they're linking to another website, it's probably spam.
Hello new member, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you really wanted an answer, though I did have to remove the link from your post.

The site simply collects amazon.com marketplace offers and links you to them as a referral. The site itself doesn't sell anything.
Well know that his question is answered does anyone want to place bets on whether or not we will see him posting again? I say no lol.
Hi guys,
Wow seems like I caused a big mess in here.
Well I was actually looking for some advice, wanting to start an "online buying experience".
So you said that website should be safe, because is just promoting Amazon staff (which should be a Good web site).
Anyway the point is (and forgive again this poor ignorant) which are the best places to buy wii online ?
Thank you Markus
Hello Markus, as you can see, forums are generally used to a form of covert advertising whereby a website owner posts a seemingly innocent post on another website that links to their site. This is why your post was met with such suspicion.

As for the best places to shop online, I will vouch for Amazon and eBay. They are my two favorite places to purchase from! Check the seller ratings, and if everything looks good, go for it!
I definitely agree with those two choices. I've started buying gamecube games off eBay, as there are hardly any good ones in the shops anymore. You can get things for very reasonable prices; in fact sometimes the prices can be unbelieveably cheap if you get a good deal. I heard Amazon is good. Also Play.com has alot of good deals.
