Hello again, robots. I've come to you today to make you an offer. Sadly, times are tough in the land of Ashley, and in an effort to scrape together some cash for an operation that my car desperately needs, I have decided to sell my beloved Nintendo Wii. It's the current-gen console that is worth the most, and I have access to another Wii where I am currently living, so I won't be without one.. still, it was the first console I ever bought all by myself, and the one I play the most currently, so it means a lot to me that it goes to a loving home where it is appreciated for more than just Wii Sports. Which is why I'm here peddling my wares before dropping it off in the frightening hands of internet auctioning.
Ideally, I'd like to get $350 for the whole she-bang, but I'm willing to negotiate or add in little extras to make it worth your money (throwing in one or two of the games shown). As of right now, this is what you will be getting:
- One (1) Nintendo Wii console, lovingly dubbed Audrey III, nearly two years old, kept in pristine condition in a smokeless home, polished every week. And I touched it! That makes it worth something, right?
- Two (2) Wii controllers, though I really hate to give up my extra, I know it sucks to only have one. I have no use for wrist straps, so they are strapless; handle these with care.
- Two (2) Nunchuk attachments, so no controller will be left out (only one pictured because I'm just terribly disorganized and need to dig through things much more thoroughly in a bit to locate it)
- All the shit that's required to plug in and connect a Wii to a television.
- One (1) box!
- One (1) disc of Wii Sports (see Nunchuk comment)
I also have the following channels that I will leave on the console, just for you!:
Internet Channel
Super Mario 64
Gunstar Heroes
Kirby's Adventure
Link to the Past
Lost Winds
Dr. Mario Online RX
If you don't like any of those, you can remove them yourself, but I think they add to my Wii's charm and overall value.
Additionally, I do have some duplicate games, all like new, that I will sell separately (prices negotiable because I don't know how to sell shit):
Wii Play (another thing that's packed up in a box somewhere in another dimension, but I know it's somewhere!)
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Metal Slug Anthology
Resident Evil 4
Boom Blox
Zack and Wiki
Don't feel bad if you have to pass it up, I can very easily sell it on eBay at a much higher price.. but I just wanted to see if anyone here was interested first, because I trust y'all to be good to her. Comment or PM or send me a carrier pigeon if you would like to discuss things and maybe give me money!
Footnote: I also have a 8 GB iPod Nano for sale, but I don't care about it as much. Still, maybe one of yous guys is interested in that also! I can fill it with video game music for you to sweeten that deal.

I wish I had money for this... nice lot of games included.
i'll bouy it at a high price!
err..i mean
"no' enuf cash!"
I'm potentially interested in Boom Blox. How much?
I'll buy it for $15 dollars and some bubble gum. And i'm all out of $15.
I smiled at the Little Shop of Horrors reference :)
Unfortunately I already own a Wii and all the accessories and games I need, so I can't really justify buying Audrey III or any of the swag that comes with her. I'll do some more Mr. Saturn drawings though, in the hopes that will brighten up this sad occasion.
Your touch is a prime selling point, but I'm probably not going to be interested unless there are some saliva samples involved.
wow. you could probably get way more than 350 for that
@Sharpless: That wasn't creepy...at all...
Sorry to hear that you've fallen on hard times, Ashley. You know, I could use some cash -- maybe I should start selling some of my stuff as well. Either way, I apologize that I can't help you. Not only do I not have the money to spare for a Wii; even if I did, I wouldn't buy one.
Ah, damn. Here I thought this was gonna be about how the Wii looks disappointing for the rest of the year and some good trollin.
Sorry to hear about the hard times. I think everyone is; the economy is fucking shit.
@NihonTiger90: Hm, I dunno! I would feel bad to ask for much more than $20-25 for it, though I paid $50 for it. However much you feel it's worth is fine. But it's one of my favorites ever! I think you should totally buy it. :D
@Sharpless: I'll meet you in the middle with a lock of my hair.
@VampireChrist: I know I could, but I wanted to give all the nice people here a good price!
Boo, this is some sad news. Nice collection there and I agree go for more than $350 bucks for the whole thing.
I'm all wii'd up but thanks for the offer. Maybe tell Rev's sister that there's a haggar porn channel.
@Samit: I actually had you in mind when I started thinking about selling it, I thought maybe I could convert you. But you saw right through me and kept your defenses up. Grr!
@Cowzilla: I would have felt bad to jack up the price much higher -- I'm a really generous person who has no business selling things. I see them on eBay for $400+ and I just feel that's way too much. If all the games were included though, I'd feel justified to ask for more, but I know not many people are Wii-less, so I separated them.
you have good taste in games, meaning i already own all those games. and they were good. good luck. keep your wii. birth a child, then put it on the black market, thats what i say.
I hope your Wii finds a good home.
@Samit
Not really. I just needed some material with which to clone Ms. Davis. Besides, you don't want to know what I'd ask you to include.
@Ashley
Sweetness! Even better. You have my sympathies, by the way. I'm been out of work for a looong time and money has not been coming easy. Sadly, I don't really have much of value to sell, except for my computer and my Xbox (of the not-360 variety), and I could never part with the two things that help keep me sane. Anyway, I hope this all sells well for you. I'd buy it myself, if I could.
Where are you located? I can't make any for-sure promises but if the shipping to Montreal isn't insane I might be able to help a sister out.
But seriously, you know what you should do? Do some cheapo commissioned artwork for Dtoid members! $20 gets you drawn in Ashley Davis style and we know we're helping someone on the site that we like! I'd buy two!
Put this up in the forums too if you haven't already. There are a lot of people that don't read the blogs in there. I've seen some business going on in there before.
@Brilliam: I'm in North Carolina. The shipping looks like it'll be around $25 if I use a flat-rate box, but I'm more than willing to split the costs if you'd like to buy her. :)
I thought about selling art too, but didn't know how much to ask for it, or who would be interested. Perhaps I will come back to that idea..
I'll give you credit, though -- in Super Mario Galaxy, Resident Evil 4, Zack & Wiki, and Boom Blox, you have four of the games (there aren't many more) that I'd actually consider buying if I owned a Wii. Good choices!
Ahoy hoy Ms. Davis! ^_^ As long as it has NOT been My Nintendo registered yet, how much would you want for Super Mario Galaxy? I'm also somewhat tempted by your Metal Slug Anthology (even though I already have one, but you can never have enough of a rare game if you've seen my collection, lol) and your 8GB iPod Nano.
How is this worth that much? Am I the only one seeing that the picture of all the lovely games is the only thing you will be getting in regards to those games? Minus Wii Sports obviously. Is a Wii controller really worth $100? Am I missing something?
@Funktastic: Lucky for you, I am too lazy to ever bother registering my games! I checked to make sure I didn't throw away the registry code, and it's still there, thank goodness. I'll take anywhere from $30-$40 for Mario Galaxy, just name your price.
And, yay! The iPod is actually brand-spankin' new, I only bought it three weeks ago, before all this mess happened.. and now it's too late to return it to the store. I'd like $160 for it, but that's negotiable as well.
@Dtomek: See, that's how I was expecting everyone to react. That's why I offered to include another game or two to the person who wanted to buy the console. Just the Wii alone, no extra controller, no extra controller attachments, are going for $350-$400 on eBay auctions, which is silly, but I guess they are a little harder to come by than the competition. My other option was to sell my 360, but I only would have got around $150 for it, which is just ridiculous considering how much I spent on it.
@Ashley
Sorry to hear about your problems. I hope all is well soon. I'd buy Zack and Wiki off of you if I hadn't just got a new copy through GOOZEX today (no lie!). I hope you find someone on Ebay to buy this for 500.
I already have a Wii, but I would totally pay for your artwork. You should really consider it, your drawings are amazing and wonderful.
I'd say go Ebay on this one. If you really need the money, you could get over $400 for this set up. The VC and WiiWare games alone are worth over $50.
It's funny, because I'm back on the hunt for a Wii, as a friend of mine in Las Vegas is in desperate need for one. Thing is, they want it new, or else I'd take this off your hands in a second.
Good luck and happy selling!
Get them to talk about it on one of the podcasts, how you're gonna sell some arts. I have a job and nothing better to do with myself! I commit to buying one!
The Wii... if you still have it in a couple of weeks, let me know, but I have to move at the end of the month, so I better make sure I'm safe first ;D
This is a really strange coincidence because $350 is exactly how much I sell my body for on craigslist casual encounters. I'm not proposing a trade (already have a Wii), I'm just sayin'.
@MaxVest
I'm proposing a trade.
Is it an Indecent Proposal?
Thoroughly.
I like where this is going.
Ashley, you have my condolences. It's times like this that I wish I had an unlimited amount of blood to sell so that I could just make a donation instead of you parting with your Wii.
...maybe i could start harvesting hobos again. hobo blood is high in vitamin Whiskey after all!

Do want RE4, Boom Blox, and Zak and Wiki. I will pay top dollar and also send you the Skullmonkeys I've been promising for weeks.
Also, Ashley Davis art commissions. Do that. And start learning your furry pr0ns because that's where the money is at.
Yes, art commisions! I love your work <3
Nice post,Thanks..

This is why I hate economy and numbers, humans get in so many serious problems they invented and can't be negotiated.
